UPDATE: I am working on a replacement for Mindflow as we speak any of which would be HUGE score for me and are easily worthy replacements. Both of the bands that I have received responses back from have played played metal fests in the US in the last year. One of which has played ProgPower and the other has played one of the other solid metal fests ie (Powerfest, BAR fest etc.)

UPDATE PART 2:

I secured a headliner in case any of the almost 200 views of this thread have come from someone in the area. Though it wasnt one of the Prog or Power ones I initially were going for so I decided to go....

FUCKING BRUTAL

....instead with one of Kansas' best Death Metal bands, fresh off of tour of Europe with CRYTOPSY....

UNMERCIFUL!!!

In other news POWND and GRAVESTORM were forced to cancel so rather then replace both bands I opted for just one, HALLUCINATION. They are a female fronted group with a sound pretty similar to ECHOES OF ETERNITY, but not quite as operatic sounding vocals.

Welcome to the wild world of small-show promoting. BTW, if you didn't lose your ass, you can assuredly call it a success.
