Starcastle in our own backyard

[djsmed]

I can remember back in 84/85 I was in a prog rock wanna be band. We actually played UK In the Dead of Night (It is very hard to play that bass part and sing it!). Anyway one of the guys in the band left a cassette in my car. I put it in and heard Eliptical Seasons by Starcastle. I had no idea who the band was and had listened to the tape about 5 times by the time I got a chance to ask the guy who the band was. It turned out to be "Fountians of Light" on one side and the 1st Starcastle album on the other.

From that moment on I was a Starcastle fan. Aside from the obvious YESish sound of the group, they are actually very creative. They are different musically than YES. I have all of the stuff on LP and I am currently getting it all on CD. The live CD is very cool also.

Do these guys tour? I would love to see them.

PS: TRIVIA QUESTION (What other popular band was the lead singer from Starcastle a member?)
