About the bands 
Glass was active in the mid '70's, but you probably never heard of them until recently (if at all) because they never released an album! However, they did do some studio sessions in the '70's and also some high quality recordings of themselves during practice sessions. After breaking up for many years, they have re-banded, formed their own label Relentless Pursuit Records, and released a double-CD of their studio and live recordings. Not only that, they have appeared at the new ProgWest  rock festival in 2001, Baja Prog  in 2002, and they put together the Progman Cometh festival in 2002 (where they, of course played) as well. They've come out of nowhere to being everywhere! Who says progressive rock is dead? In August 2004 they will finally have time to start work on their much-anticipated "comeback" CD. It will be recorded in Seattle, Washington and will contain all new material - their first studio recording in nearly thirty years. Glass is confident it will prove what longstanding Glass Fans have always known: great music like the talent of the musicians that create it, is timeless. http://www.rpursuit.com/GlassBros/Index.asp 

The CalProg executive staff met for dinner recently to discuss bands under consideration for next year’s festival and afterwards we adjourned to a small club in Huntington Beach where we saw the Genesis tribute band Gabble Ratchet for the first time. I have to tell you, I went in with low expectations. I had no idea how much fun I’d end up having! The band is made up of extremely talented musicians whose renditions of Genesis’ magical music was spot on, from the “Watcher” ‘tron intro, to the emotionally gripping HACKETT guitar solo in Firth of Fifth (complete with Taurus bass pedals), to a tasty banquet of tunes from The Lamb. Their delivery of these classics of progressive rock was truly inspiring. We were reminded that the strength of this music is the powerfully vivid and emotive writing. GR’s selection of material was perfect and their stage presence had a certain innocence yet intensity. It was a nostalgic journey surrounded by prog fans singing along to every song. Quietly of course, because we are after all, PROGSNOBS! ;-)  

So it is with great pleasure that we announce another installment in the continuing series of “CalProg Nights at Steamers”. On Wednesday October 26 Gabble Ratchet will present an evening of Genesis music. They will be performing songs from Genesis’ early years, including music from the albums Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Trick of the Tale and more.  

I highly recommend that you call Steamers Jazz club in Fullerton (714-871-8800) as soon as possible to make reservations for this very special evening. There will be a minimal $10 cover charge (hey we gotta pay the band!). The show starts at 8:00 and will go until about 11:00, but plan to get there early and show Terence (the owner) your appreciation for sponsoring CalProg nights by buying one of their deliciously affordable dinners. This is an all age’s venue and the atmosphere is very warm and friendly. It only holds about 120 people so don’t wait too long, it may fill up. . 

We hope to see you there!
