PS Ever heard of a band called Dream Theater!  :lol:

Yea but I'm not really into Emo.

We don't sound that much like them. Do we? In a good way or a bad way?

But yea I love DT. I was there at Leeds last year.

just like some other stuff you might have heard!

Seriously though. Here's a couple of rough demo mixes from the EP thingy me band is working on. Keys still to be added but please have a listen. 2 tracks and 15 minutes of unashamed proginess. There are also vocals to be added but we don't have a singer at the mo.

Here go you:

Ah memories..................you're all bonkers.

....then I'm going in to work for a couple of hours, then I'm going to pick my eldest son up from school, then I'm going to Leeds to see Frost*. The sun is shining, the birds are singing. Almost the perfect day................I have no biscuits.

And what great ablums they are! I got Milliontown first and was mighty liking it. But EIMA arrived last weekend and my word!!!.........Well it's just too good really. And not what I was expecting either! I got the digi pack with the DVD in which I haven't watched yet. There linear notes are pretty much none existant. Sooooooo......is Declan singing on most of it then because he has an amazing voice. He really has one of the best rock voices I've heard in a long time. He doesn't look like he should have that kind of voice. He does however, look like the tall chap out of the League of Gentlemen. Maybe Frost* should do a cover of Voodoo Lady by Creme Brulee!

Well impressed. Roll on Leeds!!!!!

my thought exactley. Waddya gonna do? Time was short and the gig had to go ahead as it was for our drummers degree.

Changing the subject, will Nick D'Virgilio be drumming at Leeds? I hope so . Apart from being an awesome drummist, I remember when I saw Spocks Beard that he had an pretty fab voice also. There is a funny anecdote about that. If you'll indulge me for a mo! When Spocks Beard were supporting DT on the Metropolis Part II tour, during their set Nick would up from the drums and take front stage to sing a song with Neil Morse. Of course, that meant no drummer. So in steps Mike Portnoy. For most of the gigs though, he'd come on stage wearing a hockey mask. Funnily enough, we all knew it was was Mike from the audience. So, at one particular gig, not sure which, up steps Nick and cue hockey mask wearing Mr. Portnoy only, it wasn't. It was John Petrucci. Who is as bad a drummer as he is good a guitar player! Now, I guess with the stage environment being awash with lights, and the fact that JP and MP had pretty similar hair back then, no one is Spocks Beard cottoned on. Until they were well into the song. That, and the fact they covered Nicks drums in talcum powder made for what sounded like a pretty fun gig.

I can't be held accountable for the validity here. But I remember it came from someone at the show.

On the other hand, my brother and I have a myspace for some things we do. It's different and probably not really going to appeal to anyone on here.............but I like it.

The second track "On the Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres" is the one with most of my playing on it. Well, it features samples of my guitar playing that we messed about with. Aside from the sequencer and drum machine pretty much everything else is guitar.

Thanks guys :-)

We do have a myspace but at the mo all we have up are the 3 vids we have on youtube. No singer at the mo ya see, plus due to perosnal circumstances we've spent the last few months writing. Hopefully recording soon, finding a singer, booking some gigs then you know.........and so on!

......to introduce myself  

I'm Phil. I am a recent convert to all things Frost*. I had heard about them last year, but only really started getting into the music over the past month or so. They are one of those bands (and there hasn't been many) that grabbed me from the moment I started paying attention. I'm still waiting for my copy of MillionTown to be delivered. And as soon as it's here I'll be ordering EIMA. Can't wait! In the meantime, I have watched al lthe youtube vids, including the on the road stuff they did supporting Spocks Beard. What a really nice bunch of chaps! And funny too  

So, Im going to see them at Leeds!. Woo! I've been a Dream Theater fan since I was a nipper. Seen them quite a few times and have got into Spocks Beard and Porcupine Tree as a result of seeing those bands support DT. However, this time I am going as much for the support as DT. I just can't wait to see Frost*! ANd I know they going to go down so well with the DT crowd.

I'm a guitar player in my own proggy outfit called Raising Angels. If you check out the hi res youtube vid of Hyperventilate, it's my band what has posted a video response entitled, quite imginitively "Angels Rising." I wanted to post it as a response as someobdy commented that they heard a Frost* influence. I wish it were so. But I didn't really start getting into them till I read this comment. Perhaps there's a retrospective influence! HeeHee. But I figured some of you guys might like it since, having heard Frost*, there does seem to be something frosty about our (MY!) composition!
