I was surprised to find no mention of this band on this site. They are:
Stewart Copeland, drums/vocals (The Police) Adrian Belew, guitar/vocals (King Crimson) Vittorio Cosma, keyboards (PFM) Mark King, bass (Level 42) They've put out 2 albums: a self-titled debut (2017), and Live (2021). Has anyone heard them? With the individual players past credentials, I was sure there would be some mention/recommendation on PA. |

It isn't included in the archives database that I could see either. You might want to Suggest it in Suggest New Bands if you find it suitable for inclusion (but then we do ask for a bio, links to music...) This forum is intended for discussing acts already included in PA's Prog categories. But of course those artists relate to prog, so I get why it would be put in this forum.
Listening now: https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/gizmodrome Rateyourmusic describes its self-titled album as: Art Rock, Comedy Rock Pop Reggae, Funk Rock, New Wave, Alternative Rock Listening to it, I'm not surprised that it is not included in PA. Not Prog so far to my ears (and only really prog related through personnel relations to to me, not musically). Which is not to say that I might not have expected mentions of it in the forum. EDIT: While this is the first topic on it, it has been mentioned a bunch of times in the forum (this site's search engine can time out easily when searching for posts of all-time). The first person I thought that might enjoy/know this is Grumpyprogfan because of some of his interests, and he has mentioned them, DutchProg has mentioned it a bunch of times for its playlists for its Prog show (so what do I know about Prog?) and Gizmodrome got listed in the collab album of the year topic for 2017: See CLICK Edited by Logan - 18 hours 15 minutes ago at 15:08 |

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

OK, now I've actually listened to this and fully understand why this band is not part of the database.
What are they like? Imagine a SATIRE of 1980s King Crimson, but with keyboards instead of 2 guitarists. Most of the singing is Copeland with effects, and the lyrics are a laugh riot. You can tell these guys had a lot of fun making it. The one highlight for me was the only instrumental, "Stark Naked". Belew's guitars shine here. If someone really wanted to include them, they are actually closer to RIO/Avant than Eclectic Prog or Prog-Related. Edited by Steve Wyzard - 15 hours 24 minutes ago at 17:59 |

I remember listening to the studio album when it came out and didn't like the vocals. I don't remember it being particularly proggy.
