At the time when someone started this thread I was in the market for something different to listen to.. I dug this and bought the album from Itunes ASAP. Regardless of how easy on the eyes the singer is, it was something that fit exactly what I was looking for.
District 97 - Weird chick fronted prog rock
- Thread starter Fire breath
- Start date
I have my tickets for RoSFest, so I'll see you guys there. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to buy the CD.
Hopefully you'll come to Florida somehow. I think Amazon has the album for digital download now as well if you're looking to save some cost.
Yep: [ame]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00417AZ8U/ref=mu_dm_alb_dp[/ame]
Also at iTunes here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/hybrid-child/id389221784

Last weekend in Gettysburg PA, I watched District 97 earn an unofficial landslide "best of show" from majority of RoSfest attendees AND performers, including non-fans of their specific style of prog.
The band absolutely nailed a tough repertoire, and Leslie Hunt had us prog-geezers reaching for an extra dose of Geritol; I got whiplash from trying to follow her with a camera. The festival forums and Facebook pages have been abuzz ever since.
Bravo!

Your option out of here
FUCK!!!! I didn't even know about that! Orion is about 10 min from my house! So sorry (and pissed) that I missed this!
Bummer. Things look good for us heading out east again in August, so we might come close to your neck of the woods again. Keep checking http://district97.net for updates. You can also send an email to district_97@yahoo.com to join our mailing list.
Maybe you can convince Glenn that you belong at ProgPower.
Yeah, reaction at Progressive Ears was overwhelmingly positive for the RoSFest show, which I was at. Definitely a lot of energy and you all look so fricking young. (and I had a similar reaction to Scale The Summit at ProgDay last year)
And just to repeat: the duct tape tube top/bustier: ouch.

IN YET MORE OTHER NEWS,
We are hitting the studio the day after we get back from the tour, Monday 8/8. It's still not too late to donate towards what promises to be a very expensive undertaking, and in the process get your name in the liner notes, signed merchandise, and perhaps even guest on the CD! You can donate through http://district97.net/merch.html or our live album download at http://district97.bandcamp.com/album/district-97-live-at-calprog. Thanks to all who have donated thus far, you've really helped us!
Hope to see you on the road!
