You can catch 4 different worms if you wake early enough this Saturday... times posted below are Progzilla Radio time - GMT (East Coast is 5 hours earlier.... West Coast is 8 hours earlier).

- Mike “ProgTracks” Pollack

------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- -----------------

A fortnight has passed… time enough for you to have recovered from the last United States of Progzilla. And so Tony and Mike will assault your eardrums once again this Saturday afternoon with 6 hours of stellar music... and passable conversation.

Are there any APP fans out there who are ready to harvest? Well, Tony is going to shake the Alan Parsons Project’s family tree starting at noon (GMT). Tune in to hear what sweet fruit drops into your aural basket!

Mike will follow at 1:30 PM by playing some music HE thinks you need to hear (unfortunately, that gives him a wide berth, doesn’t it?). Best sequester yourself… and for heaven’s sake, hide the pets!

Who didn’t love Colin Tench? We’ve all done our tributes to this talented and affable man, but Tony will dedicate a good portion of this variety show to Colin and his many projects, starting at 3:00 PM. A must listen for those who knew Colin… and especially for those who didn’t.

What’s a Zed? Well, Mike initially asked himself that very question when he joined Progzilla almost 2 years ago. Now “fully informed”… he’s actually going to do a show dedicated to it, starting at 4:30 PM. Guaranteed to include music you’ve never heard (that’s a good thing… right?).

Well, 2017 just got personal.  R.I.P. Colin Tench of Corvus Stone and The Colin Tench Project.  

I was honored that Colin allowed me to promote his wonderful music on KPTZ and Progzilla Radio, including "minor Masterpiece" released just this Christmas Eve.  We joked just days ago about how surprised people would be with some of the new tracks, and how relieved he was that it was finished.

So here I sit tonight, listening to his uniquely brilliant work... shocked and gutted.  But also so grateful for my joyful contacts over the past couple of years with this amazing musician, and even better man.

If you're not familiar with his life's work, you owe it to yourself to become so:  https://colintenchproject.bandcamp.com/album/minor-masterpiece

All these people are skillful musicians with long years of experience in the independent scene, and their omonimous CD, released last year, was listed 3 (on 50 entries)  in the Prog Chart, beating mainstream bands like Anathema and Storm Corrosion. They really know their stuff!!
