ProgDay Preshow On Friday.
ProgDay is happy to announce the performance of two great bands. On
Friday night, August 29, LOCAL 506 in Chapel Hill will be hosting
KINETIC ELEMENT and SPEECHLESS.
Led by "Mad Organist" MIKE VISAGGIO, KINETIC ELEMENT is a keyboard
based progressive rock trio that was originally formed to perform the
music from "Starship Universe" (2006), a solo CD by Mike. The band
continued to perform and write. Currently, in addition to "Starship
Universe," the band's repertoire includes original material from their
newest opus,"The Powered By Light Suite," as well as covers of
selected classic prog tunes.
SPEECHLESS is an instrumental mix of rock, jazz, classical, world,
funk, metal... (pretty much everything the band members love) all
tossed in a blender and shaken well. Their debut CD ranked #46 in the
GAGLIARCHIVE's Global Progressive Top 100 Poll of 2007, and in 2008
their song "Stella" was awarded "Best Progressive Rock Instrumental
Indie Performance" by the PROGRESSIVE ROCK HALL OF FAME.
