thats awesome that sonata is headlining progpower, but the rest of the bill for that show doesnt look that great, at least not as good as previous years. doesnt really matter though, since im on the other coast. they better throw a washington date in there!

It's getting harder to get the bigger names in for that festival, and I for one like the idea of bringing bands that are mostly unknown to the states to get a following the old-fashioned way. Last year there were a couple of bands that I wasn't impressed with, as I'm sure they'll be one or two that I don't like this year. It beats the hell out of Sharonfest or SOTU, where there's 5 bands I actually wanna see and 20 f@ggy screamo "bands" I don't. As far as this year, Sonata and Virgin Steele are really the biggest names on the bill, and to me that's fine. It'll give me a chance to listen to a bunch of bands I haven't heard and decide really whether I like them or not before I go and buy their stuff.

Now Playing:"Alive" from Circus Maximus
