Progday

Now that Mirthrandir is playing, I'm guessing I will have to go.

I know Alan Benjamin well and Simon Gannett has ties to my wife's family, so I feel obligated to go.

I'm sure Alan will understand if you don't though...

Found out the headliner for day 2 and it was not announced since the contract was not yet completely finalized. But I will say that alone, the band will make the trip worthwhile for me (even though they will play at Orion the day prior).

Eventually I will check out the bands I don't know, but I should go to see some good friends...and talkingto Steve Sly over the weekend psyched me anyway...

DFA's new one will be on the show this week and it is GREAT.

[dangerboy]

Excellent, both really great bands. I was going anyway, but the pot sure got sweeter. I've only seen DFA, at NF, and heard about Mirthrandir show from J. Robinson.

Scott,

Looking forward to it...and DFA will be great in a smaller setting. At Orion it was magic. Hop over to the Progressive Ears pic and tell me who the famous guitarist is in the middle (no answering by those who were at Nearfest )

He's someone that frequents Progday.

OK. Being that I am on the PD promotions team I feel obligated to say something here.

Mirthrandir has not been officially announced(yet)as one of the bands on the ProgDay lineup. Therefore I can neither confirm nor deny that they will play at PD this year. I guess sometimes word gets out a bit prematurely. Anyway, eventhough there has been no official announcement yet( again I use that word so there's a clue right there it should be official very soon.

Here kitty kitty go back in the bag.

Mike,

Mirthrandir was announced by Steve to the Nearfest crowd, I believe, and the unannounced headliner (which will come out this week I hope) was told to me by Steve and Mike Potter. That's as official as it gets.

I'm sure vax will make sure before he books a flight

But thanks for the update...I'm now goping to try to cut myself off from all of this so I can catch up on the mountain of work that awaits for me, like a leech wanting my blood.
