Since 2012, progressive rock fans have been able to participate in the Progressive Music Awards, which are sponsored by Prog Magazine. We are big fans of all the pageantry and revelry that comes with an award show, and so we decided to put together the first annual Proglodytes Music Awards.

We are honored here at Proglodytes to chat with the delightful Ché Aimee Dorval. You may have heard her collaborative work with Devin Townsend, first as a guest vocalist on his Ki album (on “Gato”, “Heaven Send”, and “Trainfire”) and then later as a co-writer on Casualties of Cool, which was released through a highly successful … Continue reading
I knew I had to see Devin Townsend at Bogarts. I couldn’t really avoid it. Mastodon, Eagles of Death Metal. and Russian Circles were playing at the Taft, which would have been a given if any other band or group was playing, but Devin and I go way back.

This morning I woke up to the surprise that Devin Townsend had released a new video for his song, ‘Stormbending’. I had seen some pictures and green screen footage, and I knew something was coming, but I was not expecting to be so moved by the product. And yes, I’d heard the song a million … Continue reading
My brothers and I saw the Devin Townsend Project with Between the Buried and Me and Fallujah last Sunday, 9/25/2016, at the Mercury Ballroom in Louisville. Devin Townsend was a “bucket list” show for me, and the experience was paradigm-shifting, though I feel like I’m too old to really review concerts per se anymore. I’m … Continue reading

Beav talks about hanging out with Devin as kids, losing touch and then getting back together, and staring at walls. Also, don’t forget that we’re honoring the memory of Keith Emerson by raising money for the American Foundation … Continue reading
