Happy Friday the 13th prog heads

November 2nd, 2009


The gig at Happy last week went so well (thanks especially to MASC and you) that we are doing it again – only bigger!
Friday 13th November at Happy Bar we are putting on a prog* night of truly epic proportions. The original line up of Riverblind, Moonlight Flit and The Novelist returns and in addition to this is Big Flip The Massive. This will be one intense night of progressive music played by the best the scene has to offer.

Moonlight Flit were brilliant on Wednesday with their new 4-piece set up. They have recently released a beautiful album called Road to the Outside which I’ve been enjoying regularly. While I missed The Novelist when they started the show last week, I won’t dare miss them again on Friday 13th. I love their carefully crafted songs with exciting hits and… dammit, I can’t wait to see them again. As for Big Flip The Massive – where does all that energy come from? They blow me away.

So, as you can see, I’m really excited about this gig – it’s probably no surprise this show was my suggestion :)
I thought: What’s the easiest way to see three of my favourite acts in one night without paying an entry fee? Oh, I know – I’ll invite them to play a show with Riverblind!

But seriously, this show is for you who loves creative music with intelligence, passion and intensity. Come on down to Happy Bar on the corner of Tory St and Vivian St next Friday the 13th of November. Just give us a fiver and we’ll play our hearts out for ya.

*Prog is a dirty word – as pointed out by Oran (spelling?), a goodly fellow who enjoyed our set last week. I am well aware of the word’s awful connotations, so I prefer the term Pretentious Rock which is clearly more honest. But here’s a question:

If you could slap a genre label on Riverblind, what would it be?
