Consider the Source @ Prog Day 2012

[dangerboy]

CONSIDER THE SOURCE Performs at PROGDAY 2012!

"Dressed head-to-toe in loose-fitting white cotton, his long hair tucked beneath a fez, the guitarist appeared like some otherworldly ascetic, a deity inhabiting a human form, perhaps, or at least a swami of some sort. His playing only added to the aura of otherness his appearance cultivated. Favoring Eastern and Middle Eastern modalities, Marin was a whirling dervish of virtuosity, his fretless double-neck guitar evoking sounds more akin to an Indian sarod or a tenor saxophone than to the standard output of electric guitar. The combined effect made the listener feel compelled toward a semi-mystical state." - Jeff Miers, BUFFALONEWS.COM

Billing themselves as Middle Eastern Sci-fi Fusion, CONSIDER THE SOURCE is a musical melting pot of Middle Eastern scales, psychedelic jams, and a hard rocking rhythm section. Listing influences from world music, jazz and rock, and bands like THE BAD PLUS, MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA, KING CRIMSON, PRIMUS, MESHUGGAH and TOOL, CONSIDER THE SOURCE has developed a signature sound like no other. Crisscrossing the US seven times in the last two years, the band has established a well-deserved reputation for exciting and propulsive live performances, all of which will be on display at ProgDay 2012!

CONSIDER THE SOURCE will join Accordo Dei Contrari (Italy), Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic (US), Karcius (Canada) and Ephemeral Sun 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.
