 Topic: Prog from your city
Posted: June 07 2009 at 21:24 |
|
I was quite curious in knowing what prog bands (if any) came from your city.
Muse lived in Teighnmouth which is very close to my city,Exeter.Matt Bellamy used to live above Exeter's sex shop with a heroin addict which is about 30 minutes walk from my house.Also Thom Yorke used to study in Exeter University but I suppose that doesn't count as the rest of the band are cambridge based (I think).
How about you? I'm sure you guys can do much better.

None that I know of. But we did hoist Babes in Toyland on the world which I'm proud of.

A bunch of Brasilian prog bands started their life in my birthcity, Rio de Janeiro, but in some cases like O Terço or A Barca do Sol or Bacamarte or the prog-related 14-Bis some of their members came from other country's states/cities.
A real carioca (native from Rio de Janeiro city) band is Quaterna Requiem.

Only prog band I know that came from my city is... well, mine.  Oh, but Adrian Belew was born like 5 minutes away from me. I think that's really cool.

^ 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.

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.

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.

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.
