A quick and painless review on the Power Prog Fest :
I think Glenn should take legal action…all night people kept messing up and calling it ProgPower West……nuf said bout that.
I pretty sure the promoter lost his ass on this show. Turnout was very poor due to lack or promotion. Which in turn was good for me cuz I got to get side stage and take pics during Nevermore's set. \m/ I’m only guessing when I say maybe 300 tops. The label that handles Scarred looks like they had a few of their other bands play the show as well, there were several Death/Black metal bands playing but I wasn’t interested in those. The promoter must be linked with that label because we certainly couldn’t figure out why Scarred played right before Nevermore instead of Agent Steel, who put on a kick ass show, pumped the crowd up got everyone wild to listen to Scarred who most never heard of and are mediocre at best.
Doors opened an hour late. Goodie bag consisted of a Scarred sticker, bottle opener and EP. A Century Media 2006 Sampler cd, Noctuary cd and a CM Distro 2 disc sampler. The one thing that was shocking was no security (I never saw any) and no purse or backpack checks at the door. Could’ve made for some huge mistakes but everyone all day was just hangin’ and chillin enjoying all the music and friendly people.
Went in and out the door all night which was great because we had an ice chest full of food and drinks.
Highlights for me were Deception, Cage, Benedictum, Zero Hour , Agent Steel and but of course Nevermore! It was great we got to meet Curufin (Drew) and his friends John and Holden. Cannot wait to party with them at PP VII!! Pete and Jesse from Benedictum were really cool and I think Benedictum would be great for next years preparty, I’m sure Hawk, Carnut and many others would agree with me.
The one thing that this festival had was an S & M bondage/fetish show after Nevermore played. LOL LOL actually it wasn’t part of the festival. It’s a Sunday night happening at the Knitting Factory….was just taken off guard as we were leaving the venue to see some half naked girl tied up being whipped, girls with panties that said “got rope” and a man wearing a vinyl bustier.
