This latest IPRS presents new music and concert news. Since the Marillion Weekend is looming, I decided to play some music from the bands that will give free concerts at the Brutopia in Montreal on the Friday afternoon. And Blackfield is coming out with a new album and tour, so you'll hear some Blackfield live in New York, taken from the DVD. As for the new music, you'll hear new songs by Presto Ballet, Outside, Millenium, Combination Head, The Lifeline, The D Project, and The Watch. The show can be downloaded here (Podcast no longer available), and don't forget that a new show is presented on the air on the internet at Sismico every Tuesdays at 2 PM EST and Thursdays at midnight EST, and on UK 70s Prog Rock every Friday at 2 PM EST.

Interview with Graeme Murray of Pallas
This week's International Prog Rock Show is a special show on Pallas. After a career spanning 30 years, Pallas is back with a new CD called XXV (pronounced by members of the band as ex-ex-vee, not 25). In honour of this new release, I interviewed Graeme Murray, founding member and bassist, and we went through the history of the band, from their beginning as Rainbow to the "wilderness years" when Pallas effectively disbanded, to their return and to the present with a new singer and a new album. I will soon post a review of this new CD.
Our whole interview lasted close to three hours, so I edited a lot, and I mean a lot, to fit in our three hour format, keeping spaces for the wonderful music produced by this band. Some parts of the interview that were cut went in depth about live giging, returning to the stage after a long absence, and in depth thoughts about the departure of Alan Reed. I think there is enough material for a second show, or at least part of a second show. If there is enough demand by listeners I will put one together, so leave comments about the show and about your thoughts for a follow up show. And while your here, become a follower of this blog by clicking on the follow button on this page, and never miss another posting.
The following songs were played:
1. The Ripper (Live), from Arrive Alive (1981)
2. Rise and Fall Part I, from The Sentinel (1984)
3. East West, from the Sentinel (1984)
4. March on Atlantis, from The Sentinel (1984)
5. Rise and Fall Part II, from the Sentinel (1984)
6. Sanctuary, from the Knightmoves EP (1985)
7. Rat Racing, from The Wedge (1986)
8. Beat the Drum, from Beat the Drum (1999)
9. Insomniac, from Beat the Drum (1999)
10. Midas Touch, from The Cross & the Crucible (2001)
11. Ghostdances, from The Dreams of Men (2005)
12. Falling Down, from XXV (2011)
13. The Alien Messiah, from XXV (2011)
14. XXV, Part I, from XXV (2011)
15. Sacrifice, from XXV (2011)
And, as always, if you love the music, purchase the CDs from the artist or their distributor.
