Riverside and Jolly to play RoSFest 2013

[TheLongshot]

US act Jolly and Polish band Riverside announced for RoSfest

We're excited to announce that US act Jolly and Polish band Riverside have been signed for the 2013 edition of the Rites of Spring Festival.

Opening the festivities on Saturday morning, US band Jolly will serve their particular brand of subtly eclectic art rock to the RoSfest faithful. They are a band whose stylistic variations and combinations are plentiful and varied, bordering on progressive rock just as much as progressive metal. And towards the very end of Saturday, Polish band Riverside will finally be able to provide their brand of metal-tinged progressive rock to our audience as well. A band that we, along with a substantial number of our core audience, have desired to book for the Rites of Spring festival for quite some time. For the 2013 edition we finally managed to land them, and when they hit the stage they'll even be the 100th artist to perform at RoSfest. A worthy cause for celebration!

Jolly and Riverside will have a mini-tour in the US in the spring of 2013, so dedicated fans will get a few more opportunities to see these bands performing. But being able to enjoy these bands in a high class comfortable theatre alongside hundreds of other dedicated prog fans, that is a setting and scenario that is ROSFest exclusive. We wish both bands the very best for the entire tour, but we're convinced that their performances at RoSfest 2013 will be the clear highlight for bands and audience alike.

Lol zedowns, things might get even more dramatic for you in a few weeks...

As with all prog fests, I know maybe 2 bands and that's it. And right now that's Jolly and Riverside.

I really hope that tour comes near me, although I know it probably won't. I'd LOOVVE to see Riverside again.

Jolly is fuckin awesome. One of my favorite non-metal bands.

Yeah....what he said!

Via Riverside web page:
Dear fans, we're very pleased to inform that we've just finished recording our new album "Shrine of New Generation Slaves"! The fifth album, with a five-word title, and over 50 minutes of absolutely fresh music. 8 songs, of which the shortest, "Coda", will only be about 2 minutes long, and the longest, "Escalator Shrine", over 12 minutes long. The first single is going to be "Celebrity Touch" and you'll be able to hear it in one month's time already.
The planned released date for the new Riverside is January 2013. The tour promoting the album will begin in March 2013. We're going to post more detailed information about that soon.
Thank you all for your support and patience. We hope that you'll like the new album. And the music? Right now we can only say that it's different but you can tell it's us!
The cover and tracklist are coming up next week. Stay tuned!

Please consider helping Jolly out. Their studio (along with most of their music equipment) got destroyed during the recent Hurricane Sandy. They are trying to raise enough money to release their next album The Audio Guide to Happiness (Part 2) and tour with Riverside this spring. I contributed, and I hope you will to.
