Good points, well made. (so to speak)

Recent experience of seeing band members attempting to dance to Prog confirms this as a rare talent indeed.

I used to dance to Rush etc but the chiropractic and hospital bills got a bit much in the end.

"Dad/Prog-dancing"....... not advisable, generally speaking, especially in front of teenage son+daughter.

Man - just imagine...I'd actually watch Strictly Come Dancing if they had a 'prog week'...that would be hilarious!

IN YET MORE OTHER NEWS,
We are hitting the studio the day after we get back from the tour, Monday 8/8. It's still not too late to donate towards what promises to be a very expensive undertaking, and in the process get your name in the liner notes, signed merchandise, and perhaps even guest on the CD! You can donate through http://district97.net/merch.html or our live album download at http://district97.bandcamp.com/album/di ... at-calprog. Thanks to all who have donated thus far, you've really helped us!

Hope to see you on the road!

How about hitting the UK?

District97 · July 26, 2011, 01:07:32 AM

We're trying to make that happen in May/June of 2011. If you're up for it, tell your local venues you'd like to see us there.

bring your time machine...

District97 · July 26, 2011, 02:56:32 AM

Haha, woops. 2012 of course.

rogerg · July 26, 2011, 10:06:55 PM

heh

let me just say again how much you guys rocked ROSFest! it was an epic show.

gr8gonzo · July 27, 2011, 11:29:25 PM

hehe, rog. we let no typo go unpunished - not even celebrity guests.

I'd love to see you guys some time, but I know prog bands don't typically make it to Florida.

I do still promote the band on my weekly crossover prog show, though, and last week I played both D97 and Information Superhighway. You're certainly welcome to pop into the chat room anytime.

Cheers,
A.J. (aka Gonzo)
