DOCTOR NERVE Storms the Stage at PROGDAY 2012!
"Stravinsky meets Zappa and they're both on acid... Triple dose!"
- Lizzy, PROGARCHIVES
"The band is tightly focused on mixing the combined heritages of Zappa's dadaist facet, Henry Cow, 20th Century chamber, psychedelia, free jazz and near-punkish rock with a strongly wicked twist. ...their sound is ballsier and more energetic than many current mainstream rock bands...It's also not listener-friendly, but listener-defying: this music stands in front of the listener and defies them to stay calm and loyal to his aesthetic criteria or join it in search of new, unnamable experiences. ...The guitar/bass/drum set is very solidly traced on the tracks of punchy rock, while the remaining instruments (reeds, vibes) display a neurotic orchestral amalgam which brings us memories of Zappa's most bizarre passages of his early 70s albums...Are you a RIO-or-Zheul freak? If so, did you ever wonder how Henry Cow would have been like during this post-grunge era of rock? Or did you ever wonder how Ruins would be like if they had less vocals and more instruments? Pick this or any other Doctor Nerve item and you'll be in awe of what you'll find...sheer weird excellence." - Cesar Inca, PROGARCHIVES
DOCTOR NERVE has been annihilating the boundaries between metal, contemporary music, and improvisation since 1984. The band's repertoire includes tightly composed, complex, fast-changing music, and is executed by a white-hot team of musicians, each of whom have carved out their own niches in New York City's new music scene. An often requested band among ProgDay fans of music's more experimental side, ProgDay is pleased to offer a blistering set by a band that has cut a singular trail in the world of contemporary music.
DOCTOR NERVE will join Accordo Dei Contrari (Italy), Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic (US), Karcius (Canada), Ephemeral Sun (US) and Consider The Source (US) at ProgDay 2012, the 18th edition of the longest running progressive rock festival in the world. ProgDay 2012 will take place on Saturday, September 1st, and Sunday, September 2nd, at Storybook Farm in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
