Hey guys, if any of you live in Minnesota, we are playing at Roberts Bar on August 12th.  It would be great to see any fellow DTF.org members if you can make it out.  ***I would still love any feedback that you guys have on the material.*** 

I'll leave you with a picture of me playing through the Another Animal solo (just had photos done a couple of weeks ago):

Just a reminder for anyone in MN.  We play tomorrow night during the "Live, Loud, 'n Local" show at Robert's in Mounds View.  Set is at 9:45 and we would love to see any DTFer's that can make it!

A nice shoutout by DanteProg.com.  Our album is scheduled to be reviewed at Prognaut later this month.  I'd love to hear any comments that you guys have!

I listened to some of it, and I have to say there's definitely some strong moments from what I can hear. The recording is very raw, it's a bit of a bummer that you didn't get a better product out of it when you're trying to sell it.

Thanks for taking a listen.  Is there any specific aspects of the recording that you can single out as improvement possibilities.  We have recorded and produced everything on our own, so we're definitely looking for any constructive criticism that you have to improve for our next offering.

Dante's Prog Blog Inferno wrote up a really nice review on our album with a track by track breakdown.  Highlights included:

-"The Last Goodbye, simply the finest song on the entire album and truly one of the best songs of 2011."
-"This is what American Prog should be.  It has a hard rock edge that satisfies my deepest rock & roll urge."
