Great stuff! 6 months to wait

If only they'd tour over here. 20th Anniversay tour has done North/South/Central America and Europe in September, which they say are the last dates of the Anniversary Tour

But, we did get two tours for the Wasteland album and various bits of Yurp are moaning about being missed. Plus I suppose COVID rescheduling effects are still rippling through which might limit venue availability.

And I suppose they've released so many albums now, the new one will be shit....

[Jonners]

A band I dont spend that much time with, but always like it when I do. Weird that

The live at Tillberg release is really good, I should like them more but for some reason....

Maybe its just because there is so much music around these days. I should just do a Zoony and listen to 3 bands (well, 1 really but pretend its three to stave off any abuse)

[Slim]

Never heard of them.

[dom]

The first I heard of them was on T-N-M-S, I think it might have been Baldie Pete waxing lyrical.  I didn't get into them until years later, more fool me!

[Nickslikk2112]

New single out now.

Starts out OK...

Must admit, I'm always underwhelmed by new Riverside releases on first listen, but like warts they grow on me

[Slim]

I quite like that.

[dom]

I quite like that.

You should sample some of their back catalogue. Great band!

[Nickslikk2112]

Great live band too. The keyboard player always looks like he's enjoying himself.

Mariusz has a Monster Bass tone.

[R6GYY]

Wow. Is it really 14 years since I saw them in London? Tempus doesn't half fugit.

But one of the UK dates is a Festival, so may not be a full show.

Think I'll try for Glasgow/Birmingham/Manchester. Thinking about Dublin, but return flights from my local Airport are too early or too late for my liking.

Tickets booked for the 18th April at the Button Factory!  Delighted.  Spotify started playing Discard Your Fear when the order went through! (Symphonic Rock playlist - is Symphonic Rock replacing Prog as a term now?)

[Nickslikk2112]

Got tickets booked for Glasgow and Manchester so far. Hopefully get a Birmingham one tomorrow in the General pre-sale (Only bloody O2 priority at the moment). Still mulling over Dublin.

Certainly wouldn't call Riverside Symphonic Rock (Overly pretentious Prog) wouldn't call them Prog either.
