Attended the 2nd hackney Prog Festival (here in London) yesterday and what a cracking even it was.
Great bar in Haggerston hosting it, great, friendly crowd, and some great and not so great bands. More to come on the bands over the next few days
Next up was Grace Hayhurst. Not particularly impressed to be honest. So so material and the playing was pretty average. None of this was helped by some technical issues for the first third of the gig. very forgettable
Five-piece with a nice blend of pog rock, a tiny bit of punk, jazz, psychedelia, and art-rock. Think a cross between Gentle Giant, Frank Zappa, and King Crimson. A little chaotic at times but in a good way
I think that they were really good but not quite as good as Z Machine
Not sure how to describe these folks but I really liked them. Jazzy / psych / prog I guess. Mostly instrumental and they weave patterns that are just mesmerising. Loved them
