Someone hacked their myspace? When was that?

True, and I doubt Nearfest would have chosen a lunatic to mix their DVD either! Adam is probably some guy from Nearfest who's been in communication with PRR to let them know that he's the one who'll be doing it. I wonder what the band think of him....
and if someone has started a fake myspace, that is just about the most unbelievably sad thing I've ever heard of.

Hmm, let's see... 'Adam' is 102 years old; Adam is pounding the world like a battering ram; Adam is boomin' back at ya; Adam's Myspace page is set to private; 'The guvnor ' is dead; Adam is a nutter Just what bit of the above actually bodes well? Ha! You forgot to mention that Adam is also "horny"... To be honest, he may be a nutter, but I doubt PRR would have chosen someone with no capability at all. We should at least get something interesting. A lot of the world's greatest people have been nutters...judgeth thou not from a mere myspace page set to private!

Just noticed an intruiging comment left on the myspace by a certain "adam":
"Can't wait to start mixing the live DVD, just spoke to "the guvnor". Hurrah!"
Mmmm...very cryptic. But bodes well!

Well I still don't know who you are. That search came up with three hits, one of them was this forum, one was baldyslaphead's discography, and the third was some 'berkshire live' forum or something that didn't say anything really. Not that I looked particularly hard...

Not trying to be deliberately obtuse or secretive, but don't really feel that it's my place to say how nikosonfire is connected with the band, that's not my decision to make. We all have usernames so that people can protect their privacy if they choose to But for privacy's sake we shouldn't dig into people's personal details unless they themselves offer to discuss them, in my opinion. Yup, agreed. I don't want to pry...I was just asking in case it was common knowledge, ie not private. But if it is that's fine with me. I was just curious, I don't really care that much.

Agreed! Best of both worlds would be a two CD release with both live and recorded stuff! Who is nikos could someone tell a poor old not-long-enough-fan like me?

!!!!very exciting (cheers scat)
But how can they already be contemplating live albums and stuff when they haven't given us the second studio album? Not that I'm complaining - I would LOVE to hear a PRR live album.

Direct quote from Jamie's buletin: "A few of you eagle eyed internet users out there may have seen we are unsigned at the moment, just to reassure you all, we are in the middle of talks as I write this and that wont be the case for much longer. All I can say is look out for a single in the coming few months."
That was, er, a few months ago.

Poor Paul! He's been cooped up for so long with nothing to do that he has to do some clinic thing to "flex his drumming muscles"! Yeah, great news about the DVD, well spotted.

I agree with blonde ambassador: if they got any smaller they would lose their greatest asset: the harmonising. Since I doubt Jon has lost his passion fot the Beach Boys etc, I expect the harmonies between Jon Chloe and Jamie will be the just as big a feature on the new material as the old stuff, no matter how electro it becomes.

Riiiiighhhht.......well I guess it falls to me to break this eiry silence in the realms of the divine...where's everyone got to? There's plenty of interesting stuff to say...like does someone else want to reply to the arguments in this thread? No one seems to have responded to my comment at the end of the Victorious Cupid thread either (which I had thought might be a little controversial...) I guess the silence of the band itself is affecting its memebers.

I have lived all my life being obsessed with bands that no one I knew had even heard of. What provides me with constant cheer is that there are, even if you haven't met them, always plenty of other people who are as obsessed as you are, who like all the same things about the band that you do, and who are generally able to see the brilliance that so many people simply fail to spot. They may not be as numerous (or as half-hearted) as the fans of 'big' bands, but they're there, and they make themselves heard.
I didn't even know of PRR's existence till about a year ago, which is terribly, terribly sad for me. I desperately wish I'd been with all you guys when they were starting out, and had been to all their tours etc etc. But I really don't blame this on bad publicity or poor marketting. I blame it on the lack of musical justice in the world; that good bands generally don't get big. This I am fully, if sadly, resigned to. But it is an essential point - that there probably aren't all that many people out there who would become converts if they were only able to hear the music. Almost everyone who's a likely PRR fan will be trawling the prog rock scene for bands like this anyway (that's how I found them).
I don't think if PRR were suddenly marketted 'properly' they would get hoards of fans automatically. I think they should let fans come to them, not vice versa. That way the fans are real fans, and they have more time to concentrate on doing the music bit as well as they can. Obviously, months of absolutely no activity (like we have at the mo) are a bad idea in every respect, but I think in the reincarnation we are about to witness music should be put first and marketting a definite second. More fans are of course a good thing, but I don't thing the gains PRR would make by investing everything in business planning would really be very substantial. I know many will disagree, but in my experience there is surprisingly little difference that can be made to brilliant and obscure bands' fan bases.
