International band?

Hey, I was thinking there are bands like Dragonforce and Lord Vicar that include members from different countries, that were set up possibly across international borders. Now I'm finding it very awkward to find musicians interested in playing anything prog, a lot seem into indie or conventional rock but not prog!  So I'm thinking how about setting up a band initally online I guess, to see how it goes and if it goes well, we can agree on a place to rehearse, at that stage it would probably be a serious band, ready to tour etc. I've recorded my own material and would like to play some of it though of course everyone would have equal input into the writing of new songs and I'm totally up for writing new material. I'm 27, play lead guitar, based in Durham, UK. Influences include Queen, The Mars Volta, Pink Floyd, Opeth, Led Zeppelin, Reverend Bizarre, Metallica and NIN. 

Good stuff using a computer on stage. Yeah I dunno, I'd have to use a backing mixdown track for my music,  as there are so many tracks which would defeat the purpose of playing live, plus playing and singing some of the parts are basically impossible for me to do on my own as there would shred soloing and vocals, I know Devin Townsend can do it, somehow...amazingly... Hmm, I would suggest however that by the stage everyone would be in the same place, it would be a serious effort involving touring, not just a hobby band. That's where I would eventually like to take it.

I'm a bass player in search of projects. I also write a lot of music myself. I would be perfectly willing to play some prog. I lnow my musical theory pretty well and I'm going to study in music. I'm only 17 though.
