Prog-Watch 206
This week’s episode kicks off with a few more fascinating tunes and the remainder of the interview material from the enigmatic Hugh Bonar (HB3)! Then Tony and Dave give you a little taste of a fresh American Prog act called District 97! These guys blend heavy, intricate instrumental sections (a la Liquid Tension Experiment and the like) with the brilliant, at times jazz-tinged vocals of an American Idol finalist, Leslie Hunt! A truly interesting blend! Finally, they leave you with the awesome stylings of guitar and studio wizard Alek Darson on the Watch List! And you definitely want to watch for this guy! For more information on this week’s artists, you can visit: www.reverbnation.com/hb3; www.district97.net; www.alekdarson.com; As always send questions, suggestions or comments to progsquatch@gmail.com. You can also follow the Squatch on Twitter (@ProgSquatch) or visit our Prog-Watch Facebook page. Also, if you have a Prog band and are looking to maybe break into “the big league”, contact us to get on our Watch List! (We just might play you on the show, and who knows, it might lead to your big break!)
