    The Future of ProgPower USA

    Leaves' Eyes - New Album Details

    awesome- met them outside at ppxi when they arrived, & esp. considering the financial challenges the whole Kamelot tour cancellation had left them with, they were extremely warm, welcoming people. Thought they put on a great , very enjoyable show as well (after the initial delay to work out the...

    Versailles - Destiny-The Lovers new single and vid

    interesting- i wasn't really familiar w/visual kei before u posted this- it's kindof like you threw Adam Ant & Bow Wow into a blender- although the androgyny aspect of it is more than a little wierd, i will likely buy this- Thanks!:worship:

    My wife & I attended for the 1st time this fall, & had a great time.
