Beaucoup gratitude to all of the attendees, musicians, and others who made Seaprog 2022 one of the most extraordinary nights of modern progressive music in Seatown memory. Minus two key members on a day’s notice, Bent Knee pulled off a remarkable pivot of reinvention; Cheer-Accident’s performance with an expanded lineup demonstrated why they’re one of the most utterly unique musical aggregates anywhere; and Rainbow Face did the Pacific Northwest proud with a heartfelt, energetic set.
Especial thanks are due to videographer Anthony Garone (Make Weird Music), who trekked all the way from Arizona to capture the event (to be rebroadcast by MWM); Rachel and the supremely capable and personable Crocodile staff; DB Wood for stage assistance; Mike Pollack for generous coverage and artist interviews on his exemplary Progressive Tracks radio program (check ’em out); Ron Reed for his splendid poster graphic; and to 4Culture and our nonprofit fiscal sponsor Shunpike (and Casey Moser) for their crucial support. Love to all from the Seaprog Central Committee; watch this space for future developments…
