ProgDay 2007 Final Lineup!

The ProgDay organization is sad to announce that due to an issue with work permits / passports for playing in the United States, Nik Turner's Space Ritual has cancelled their North American tour that was slated to begin at ProgDay 2007. All other U.S. dates are also cancelled. We were informed of the situation a few days ago. Nik also sends his regrets as he and the band were really looking forward to playing in front of U.S. audiences again.

However, ProgDay is pleased to announce our last two additions to the lineup for 2007.

FROGG CAFÉ - Frogg Café is no stranger to fans of progressive rock, especially those on the east coast. The Froggs have been tearing up the northeast progressive rock circuit for several years to rave reviews. The band appeared at NEARfest in 2005 and is featured on the outstanding DVD from that show released earlier this year. The band's latest release is the two disc live set "The Safenzee Diaries." Frogg Café began their career as a Frank Zappa tribute band, but have morphed their original material over the years to incorporate melodic progressive rock, fusion, improv, and have even been embraced by the jam band crowd. Frogg Café will perform on Saturday, September 1.

THREE - Fresh off their triumphant US tour with Porcupine Tree, Three encompass an accessible brand of progressive rock that both captivates and challenges the listener. Led by singer / songwriter / guitarist Joey Eppard, Three also feature a relentless twin percussion attack that is sure to rock the farm. The band's latest album, "The End Has Begun," was recorded at famed drum virtuoso Jerry Morrota's studio in New York. The album was released in July on Metalblade records to glowing reviews. Three have also done an extensive U.S. tour with Coheed and Cambria and played countless headline shows over the past few years. Porcupine Tree specifically picked Three to be the opening act on their 2007 tour and after seeing them live it is easy to understand why. Three will perform on Sunday, September 2.

Progday takes place on Saturday and Sunday, September 1 and 2, at Storybook Farm near Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Visit the website at http://www.progday.com for more details.

Re: ProgDay 2007 lineup finalized
 

"3", is also added. I am VERY surprised they are playing. I found them more metal than prog. But they are exciting and compelling!

I think schupdoggy will be there and Mike Visaggio will be there.

Anyone else?

Re: ProgDay 2007 lineup finalized
 

Three was listed. However, they mispelled it as "threee." At any rate they are not to be confused with "3" which was a short lived band back in the late 80's that featured Carl Palmer and Keith Emerson. ;)

Personally, I'm looking forward to Frogg Cafe. I somehow missed them in the past. I've talked to some of the guys. Being that I'm originally from N.Y. I like to see bands from my home state.

Re: ProgDay 2007 lineup finalized
 

Are they mascots or prog fans from aural moon? ;) I'll be there. I'm the van driver this year and over all helper outer. :) Driving the van will be my main responsibility this year though.

Re: ProgDay 2007 lineup finalized
 

Mascots lol....Mike is "Mike the Organist", and he should have a table there.

I hope the Froggers have Nick Lieto. He took a leave this year, I think he's back. He writes a fair number of the songs, sings, and plays a mean keyboard and trumpet/flugelhorn..sometimes at the same time!

I believe the third one in that three was Robert Berry. Forgettable stuff.

"Three" may be from New York also. they have a second drummer who's all brimstone and fire. They'll rock the house (ampitheater:rolleyes: )

Re: ProgDay 2007 lineup finalized
 

Yeah, I believe Three are from the Woodstock area in NY but I'm not 100 percent sure. I heard a track by them on another prog radio show and it sounded good.
