Acclaimed progressive rock band Spocks Beard will play its one and only American show at the Downey Civic Theater in Downey, Calif., on Sunday, September 12.
Despite being a world-renowned recording act and touring act, Spocks Beard rarely plays in America due to prohibitive touring costs. Spocks Beard is booked for a European tour during the last two weeks in September, which made this one-off show possible.
Since we’ll all be in LA at the same time doing rehearsals for the Europe tour anyway, we thought we’d try to book one LA date right before we left, said Dave Meros, bassist for the band.
Spocks Beard will release its tenth album, X, on September 28 on Music Theories Recordings, a subsidiary of Mascot Records. X has received rave reviews and will be the focus of the live show. We’ll be doing the whole X CD plus some selected oldies to round out the set, Meros said.
Tickets are available at www.calprog.com. Credit card and PayPal are accepted. The cost is $55 for a reserved seat.
