ProgDay Announces VonFrickle!
stev...@aol.com
ProgDay is proud to announce one of the leaders of the Midwest
American progressive rock scene, VonFRICKLE, to the Storybook Farm
stage. Hailing from the Illinois heartland, VonFRICKLE have become a
staple of the Chicago area progressive rock underground, as well as
playing shows throughout the country.
The band's influences include KING CRIMSON, early PINK FLOYD, THE
RESIDENTS, PRIMUS, JEFF BECK, late 70s-early 80s RUSH and FRANK ZAPPA,
but they create a brand of music that is all their own. Veteran
musician/composer AL KOOPER says, "Just when the words ZAPPA, ELO, and
DIXIE DREGS start to escape the vocabulary, here comes this Illinois
instrumental band that is not afraid of time signatures, keys or tempo
changes."
With seven studio albums to their credit, VonFRICKLE are also known
for their theatrical live shows featuring energetic readings of their
recorded works. This year saw the highly anticipated release of their
first concert album, "Live: The Forty Fingers of Doctor V," which
nicely captures the excitement of a VonFRICKLE performance.
After impressing fans at PROG IN THE PARK in 2006, VonFRICKLE are
excited to make another east coast festival appearance. This is your
chance to hear what all the buzz is about. Don't miss it!
Announced bands so far: AIN SOPH (Japan), CHEER-ACCIDENT (US),
HOLDING PATTERN (US)
