Searching for me
You look everywhere,
Except beside you.
Searching for you
You look everywhere,
But not inside you.

I amost forgot that guitar player Ron Jarzombek is from my hometown of San Antonio and he's the guitar player of Blotted Science and the late,great tech-prog metal band Watchtower which is beforre my time but from what I hear pretty impressive. they were a big influence on the early progressive death metal band like Athiest,Cynic,and Pestilence.

I live in San Antonio need I say more. To be fair we do have a post rock-y band in the vein of Dredg called Pop Pistol but I do not consider the prog but I don't really consider Dredg prog either. About 65 miles north of me in Austin we have the venerable Explosions In The Sky and members of Giant Squid are from Austin but they relocated to San Francisco.

Hmmm...I'm from Lakewood, New Jersey and I don't know of any prog bands that started there. The closest I can come up with is Gary Wright who played with Spooky Tooth. He was born in Cresskill, NJ which isn't more than an hours drive from where I was born.

Well, if we are talking about rock in general, what about Judas Priest?

Je,je,je,je...I live in Bilbao. The most progressive thing here was Uriah Heep concert in 1976 and another with Triana, and some prog cds and vinyls in the music shops (when you find them).
A difficult place for prog...I´m afraid.

My hometown Düsseldorf got and still has a liveley music scene and produced among others Kraftwerk, Neu, La Düsseldorf, Streetmark plus the solo records of Michael Rother and the late Klaus Dinger and their side projects.
BTW K. Dinger produced and played also with newer Düsseldorf based postrock bands like Kreidler and Mouse On mars which are worth checking out.
and on the Postpunk side there are some interesting bands like Der Plan, Die Krupps and DAF
and the Fluxus movement was linked to the Academy Of Fine Arts of Düsseldorf with artists like Beuys and Nam June Paik and George Maciunas who performed one of the first Fluxux concert there.....
and obviously the still unreleased 80's tapes of my band Burning Headquarters.

It's not by habit to give some more detailed information about by whereabouts and I'm going to violate my own rule no more than just a little bit. But an inquisitive person may get some info out of it. The...er...er...city where I live now has never been good in producing prog and I guess it will never be. But I was born in the same place as a guitarist whose name is well known here on PA. The same place saw a band that can be found here on PA in the Crossover Prog section and belongs to the more symphonic part of it. The name of this band is a 5-letter palindrome.

Until my friends and I form a band there will not be a trace of prog to come from Laguna Beach, California.

Blackpool, England. Two that spring to mind are Jethro Tull and Roy Harper. Jeffrey Hammond lives on the same street, a few houses down the road. In fact Martin Skyrme, (John Evan Band 1967) and Tony Williams, (Tull bassist, 1978) are both good friends of mine.

^ There is a somewhat interesting and proggy-ish band called the Stilletto Formal from Phoenix.
As for me, I live in far too small a town for there to be prog, though I'm trying to form a technical avant-garde metal band with a couple guys.
