Stride

[Nightmare1z]

Hey, I'm recently picked up Stride's 2 CD's (Music Machine and Bah Humbug). I'm normally not really into insturmental music (MM) but it was actually quite a good CD. Bah Humbug being their Christmas CD - pretty good as well.

Just wondering if their release for this year is going to be out in time for PP?

It's only 2 months away now, and their website doesn't tell me anything

Thanks!

From what I've read on this forum, it looks like the album comes out after Progpower, but will be available at Progpower. So we can listen to the album on Saturday before Stride hits the stage.

Hmmm, someone should schedule a listening party for Saturday. Or maybe even Friday night after the show if you guys are crazy enough.

I could be wrong, but I believe Ken mentioned (on this board or the PM board) that he's going to have the Stride disc available at ProgPower.

It's my understanding as well that their album will be exclusively available at PPUSA as well...well before the scheduled release date...


Rock on!

 

[Nightmare1z]

Alright, thanks a bunch!

Do you guys think they'll play anything from Music Machine possibly? There's a couple songs on there I wouldn't mind seeing.

You'll need LSD for that.

A little bird just flew to my window and told me they will play Borrowed Time...but thats it...The new album is fantastic can't wait to here it live!

 

[Nightmare1z]

Awesome if that's true. Borrowed Time and Travesty are my faves from it, and Travesty just probably wouldn't work well live (at least at PP for an opening band)

They will play Borrowed Time

new stride material is AMAZING!!!, especially now that they have vocals. really looking forward to their set. they will definitely blow people away, maybe even steal the show!

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

I really like that song, that was on the bands section of the main website, but that is the only material I have eer heard. I would like to get a hold of this new material though. I hate going to a concert without hearing a good amount of the bands music

Peace

are there any samples of the new stuff other than Imagine from the PP samples?

 

[ashaman7122]

Their song called Face The Day is available on their website (linked below), in the Media section. That song also made the PPUSA5 sampler CD as well (if you have it).

At PPUSA5, they were distributing copies of their demo CD, which had 3 songs: Imagine, How Far, and Face The Day. After spinning that demo for the past 10 months, it gets me totally stoked for the rest of their upcoming album.


Rock on!

basically just wanted to chime in again and say that i hope everyone is ready for Stride to completely tear things up at PPVI. Might be getting a bit ahead of things, but i cant wait to see Stride return in a slot with a longer setlist, i NEED to hear it ALL!!!!!!!!!!

Stride absolutely blew me away when they played the pre-party. I'm glad to see they're getting a shot to play the big room. They're the band I'm looking forward to most on Saturday night. If you like progressive, flawlessly executed music, you'll lile Stride.

Their new disc is a definite blind buy for me.

Same here. They were going to get a spot on the main stage as soon as they had an album ready with vocals. There was no hesitation at all.

Would you ever book an all instrumental act for PP? Perhaps one with some "star power", like Liquid Tension Experiment?

Zod, you're just full of interesting questions here lately!

Hmmm, I guessing they have a sound close to Circus Maximus. If they're remotely close to the Circus, then I'll dig em' to no end!

Zod

Honestly, no. I don't enjoy instrumental acts 90% of the time and I am at the point where the festival is going to do well based on the bands I select instead of just "star" power.

I'll explain more in the dvd.
