NEW LIVE PROGRESSIVE ROCK SERIES FOR 2009 IN PHILADELPHIA
Debut show kicks off with Kohoutek, The Red Masque and Advent at the North Star Bar
Philadelphia, PA - December 20, 2008 - The North Star Bar will play host to a new Progressive Rock Series starting February 22, 2009. The series, currently with its first two shows on sale now, will take place on the last Sunday evening of the every month. For the first two performances tickets will be $10, advance tickets can be purchased via www.ticketweb.com, and the events are for those 21 years of age and older. The North Star Bar is located at 2639 Poplar Street in the Art Museum Area of Philadelphia and can be found online at www.northstarbar.com.
The Red Masque [Rock-in-Opposition, Zeuhl, Space Rock] of Philadelphia, will be assisting in the curation of shows and will perform at the first two scheduled events. February's event will also feature headliners Kohoutek [Psych, Noise, Abstract] of Washington DC and openers Advent [Rock-in-Opposition, Symphonic] from New Jersey. The March 29 event will feature headliners Thee Maximalists [Avant, Free Jazz] from Baltimore and openers Igor's Egg [Zappa, Jam] of Philadelphia.
The goal of this series is to first feature regional acts as to grow a local audience for Progressive Rock music in Philadelphia. Step two would be to cultivate more local talent in closer proximity to Philadelphia, so as to encourage the growth of the series overall. Finally, we would hope, given the proper support of the series, to be able to attract national and international talent, and give them more options for live performance on the east coast.
