PROGDAY 2012: Jack Dupon Cancels, Karcius Confirms!

JACK DUPON has unfortunately cancelled their North American tour, which means that they will not be able to perform at ProgDay this year, however KARCIUS from Montreal has confirmed for ProgDay 2012.

"Karcius has to be one of the most exciting prog-jazz bands around in the current times: the sound that this ensemble from the French Canada offers to the listener is fresh and powerful, showing off its legendary influences yet shouting out its crucial modernity."
- Cesar Inca, Progarchives

Founded in 2001, Montreal's Karcius has developed an international reputation for their three instrumental releases. On their third album, Episodes, the band redefined their sound and brought new colors and complexity into the mix, authenticating their need to re-envision themselves musically and professionally. On their fourth and most recent release, The First Day, KARCIUS once again evolved - this time with the addition of vocals. Placed somewhere between Porcupine Tree and Pink Floyd, this is an exciting time for the band as they explore the new possibilities created by once again re-inventing themselves.

Returning from a two week European tour, ProgDay is pleased to host KARCIUS for this exclusive US appearance.

KARCIUS will join Accordo Dei Contrari (Italy) and Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic (US) at ProgDay 2012, the 18th edition of the longest running progressive rock festival in the world. ProgDay 2012 will take place on Saturday, September 1st, and Sunday, September 2nd, at Storybook Farm in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
