CalProg is pleased to announce that the 4th and final band appearing on the main stage this year is the high-octane, hard-rocking Seattle based Presto Ballet. The brainchild of Metal Church’s lead guitar player Kurdt Vanderhoof, this energetic quintet is choc full of crunchy guitar, percussive B3 organ and melodic vocals. I think CalProg staffer Todd summed it up pretty well when he commented on a sample from their upcoming CD: “Just the right touch of "metal" without being cartoonish or over bloated.”

We really are looking to Presto Ballet to get CalProg off to a blistering start with their high-powered rock, in a year when the musical diversity of the line-up will long be discussed in prog circles.
