Well maybe you can help me out cuz I don't have a clue! LOL! I think I'll skip it though. Last month, Shadow told me that they have a Deep Ellum show around Halloween. I asked him yesterday and turns out they are playing at Club Clearview on Oct 28th!
Maybe I'll see you there?

Someone recommend a good underground Texas death metal band... there are a million around, but I want to know who you think is the best. And I'm not asking for bands on major record labels.. I already know those names. I've consulted the TXDM too but I still want input.
Don't worry, this isn't going to turn into a death fest. There might be one or two, depending on how many days we plan. But I'm mostly asking for another reason

I think Weaken The Adversary is an outstanding atypical death metal band!

There is also, and yes I'm serious, Burning Midget out of College Station

As for the Shadow show, I'll be attending the Zero Hour show @ FBI that day!

If I post updates, will you guys promise to not take anything as a guarantee?
I want to keep everyone excited and informed, but I want to make it clear that nothing is set in stone.

Just a quick update for everyone....
The fest will likely be the second year of my event from this past June in Michigan called MADFEST. I'm moving it to Texas anyway, so why not combine the ideas and save me from having to do two fests in a year What do ya'll think of then name? MADFEST 2007 ... some say it's generic, but on the other hand it's catchy, short, and simple so people remember it AND it doesn't limit us to genre or state. Plus, the name has been out since March and the success of the first event made it's reputation start off on the right foot. People in Michigan will be pissed, but if ProgPower can move down south, so can MADFEST
Also, we are looking at venues in Houston since we think that will be the best place to hold the event. What do you guys think about it being in Houston?
One more thing.. with ProgPower being later next year, we will lilkely hold our fest earlier in the summer, as opposed to after PPUSA which was the original idea. While it would be nice to give people a reason to travel to the warm south during the cold winter months, putting it in November would be too soon after PP, and to close to Christmas. So, likely late June or early July. What do ya think??!

Having it in late June/July would give me a much better chance of being able to attend, so I'm all for it!

Hmmm... good to hear the planning on this is moving along... but I'll throw in 2 cents and say that traveling to Houston right in the middle of hurricane season and in the heat and humidity of July may not be the most attractive idea for some. Plus, if you are looking beyond having strictly local bands, a summer event could create scheduling conflicts in terms of bands already being booked for European festivals...
We welcome all 2 cents, but just so you know, so we do not in any way conflict with PROGPOWERUSA after talking with Tammy we decided to try for a summer date. We do realize that this is hurricane season, but god willing it will be okay.
Now as to the artists, this first year we will be keeping it and all Texas band event. Looking to have OUTWORLD, MEYVN, SIX MINUTE CENTURY, FAIR TO MIDLAND, STRIDE and a few others. We are hoping and initial plans are for a two day event, and to make the price so appealing you can not afford not to come. Hopefully, this will be a win/win for all involved, and then next year go beyond and try for the international appeal.
So bear with us as we get this in gear and hopefully we will see as many of you as can make it there, and who knows we might even offer something special for our Progpower Brothers and Sisters.

Just so everyone knows, none of those bands have been confirmed.
Also, while we want to try to keep it as Texas-oriented as possible, it's not a rigid rule.
So don't yell if we come up with an out-of-state band, or one that's not on John's list.. kk? LOL!
*Edit: Just c.m.a. my friends...
