Los Angeles, CA - Prog legends Spock's Beard, in support of their
newly released and critically acclaimed album, 'Brief Nocturnes And
Dreamless Sleep', are filming a video for the track “Submerged.” The
three-day shoot is based in Los Angeles, and inside sources say it is
a full-on music spectacle! Released on April 2nd, 'Brief Nocturnes And
Dreamless Sleep', marks the return of Spock's Beard to the InsideOut
Music label, and the two-disc set has been garnering rave reviews from
fans and critics alike worldwide.

Founding band member Alan Morse comments about the video: “'Brief
Nocturnes And Dreamless Sleep' is a new and exciting direction for us,
and when we read the director's treatment for the video, we
immediately knew we had found the perfect person to help us bring our
musical vision to the screen. It is equal parts performance and
concept, and there will be as many twists and turns in the video as
there are in our music. You'll never hear 'Submerged' the same way
again.”

In their 20 years together, Spock's Beard have built a reputation for
invention, musicality and sheer restive energy. Yet perhaps nothing
they have done before can properly prepare you for their 11th studio
album. 'Brief Nocturnes And Dreamless Sleep' is an album that will
constantly surprise. Featuring the recording debut of long-time tour
drummer Jimmy Keegan (Santana), and vocalist/guitarist Ted Leonard
(Enchant, Thought Chamber), it also sees the return of a familiar name
to the song-writing credits - Neal Morse, who has co-written two
tracks, his first since leaving the band more than a decade ago.

Gary Brown of Classic Rock Radio Dot EU raves about Spock's Beard's
'Brief Nocturnes And Dreamless Sleep', “Perfect album from start to
finish...one of the best hard rock/mainstream prog albums I've heard
in a long time!” Ytsejam touts, “In the end, it is the Spock's Beard
album we all have been waiting for, as Morse, Meros, Okumoto, Leonard
and Keegan have produced another excellent offering of musical mayhem.
A true testament to what progressive rock is in the 21st Century and
beyond.”

Co-produced by Alan Morse, Rich Mouser and John Boegehold, 'Brief
Nocturnes And Dreamless Sleep' is described by Meros as, “quirky,
edgy, and reminding us a little bit of older times in the band, but
also taking us further forward.” In regards to the song the band is
filming the video to, “Submerged”, Dave explains, “Ted had originally
written and recorded this for his solo album 'Way Home' (released in
2007), and it's a real stadium rocker. We've adapted it to our own
sound but stayed faithful to Ted's original arrangement. I wouldn't
say it's strictly Prog Rock, but fits what we do and is a great song.”

Spock's Beard Is:
Alan Morse - guitar, vocals
Dave Meros - bass guitar, vocals, keyboards
Ryo Okumoto - keyboards, vocals
Jimmy Keegan - drums, vocals
Ted Leonard - vocals, guitar

In closing Dave has this to impart about 'Brief Nocturnes & Dreamless
Sleep', “I am proud of what we've done. I believe this is the way
Spock's Beard should sound in 2013.”
