From Ottawa, Canada, THE REBEL WHEEL began in the early 1990s out of a shifting cooperative of musicians working in a myriad of styles producing both improvised and arranged music. Early work tended towards neo-prog, but over the years the band pursued a more aggressive and edgy direction that eventually evolved into the sound they have today. Steeped in dark, cinematic soundscapes and complex turn-on-a-dime arrangements, sometimes dissonant, sometimes mellow, always eclectic, their musical landscape has been compared to WETTON-era KING CRIMSON, ZAPPA, RUSH, PINK FLOYD, and at times even YES and GENESIS. But in the end their personality is all their own.
Recently working and gigging as a three-piece while ANGIE MACIVOR is on hiatus with the birth of her first child, THE REBEL WHEEL have expanded their lineup for ProgDay to include guest keyboardist-extraordinare GUY LeBLANC, acclaimed for his work with NATHAN MAHL and CAMEL. We're sure this special show will be a treat for fans of both THE REBEL WHEEL and Guy LeBlanc.
