Ok FINALLY, now that I got a replacement BD that works, got a chance to watch/listen to this (Flying Colors):
I like this band a lot. Their music is complex and interesting, not your usual 1-4-5 pop/rock band, far from it. Shades of Dream Theater here, not surprising given that Mike Portnoy is their drummer. They even do a DT song on this video. But they're a little more on the pop side of the progressive rock genre. Still, very interesting stuff. I LOVE their song Kayla!
One of the high points for me on this video was their lead singer (Casey McPherson) breaking into a very credible solo version of Cohen's Hallelujah! So totally different and so totally appropriate at the same time, it's hard to explain.
Dave LaRue's bass is awesome, never have I seen so many true - and fascinating - bass solos in a video concert.
Every musician in this band is seasoned and talented. Their vocal harmonies are terrific! Who knew that Portnoy could sing.
Anyway, this is a great new band, and I look forward to seeing where these guys take this.
