ProgMontreal and Unicorn Digital are proud to present Mahogany Frog at the Club Lambi (4465 Saint-Laurent Boulevard, Montréal • 514-250-5917) on Thursday, September 9 2010, at 8:30 PM. Admission will be $15 at the door.
Mahogany Frog is an eclectic instrumental progressive/alt-rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba. The music draws influence from an array of genres: electronica, progressive rock, jazz, late 50's "ultra" lounge, ambient/experimentalism. With the use of a plethora of keyboards (both analogue & digital), feedback-ridden guitars, fuzz-bass and walls of electronic samples, the group creates a tube-saturated, highly overdriven jazz-rock with an enormous amount of energy. Live, the songs all flow together, creating a steady bombardment of highly progressive, exciting music that explores countless moods and ideas.
The group is composed of four highly talented multi-instrumentalists: Jesse Warkentin on guitars and keyboards, Graham Epp on guitars, keyboards and trumpet, Scott Ellenberger on bass and trumpet and Andy Rudolph, on drums/percussion and electronics. Mahogany Frog released their critically acclaimed fifth studio album entitled Do5 in 2008 as their complex and eclectic approach to music reaches new height.

SCALE THE SUMMIT to play Progday 2010
Though boasting an average age of only 22, SCALE THE SUMMIT has already cemented its position as a band pushing heavy progressive and prog metal into new directions. Formed in 2004, this instrumental quartet established its base in Houston, Texas, where it recorded Monuments, its self-released debut. The album garnered international attention with magazines like Kerrang, Rock Sound and Amp heaping praise upon the band.
This growing recognition led to SCALE THE SUMMIT signing with Prosthetic Records in 2008. Its second album, Carving Desert Canyons, was considered to be one of the most anticipated "heavy" releases of 2009 and was lauded for the uniqueness of it's music, the maturity of the writing and the amazing skill of it's execution. Shortly after the album's release, SCALE THE SUMMIT was invited to participate in Dream Theater's annual Progressive Nation summer tour where the band continued to garner new fans on a nightly basis. Often compared to bands like Liquid Tension Experiment, Cynic, Planet X, King Crimson, Spaced Out and Canvas Solaris, ProgDay is very pleased to bring the cutting-edge music of SCALE THE SUMMIT to Storybook Farm.
SCALE THE SUMMIT is joined by Flash, The Muffins, Mars Hollow, Half Past Four, Shadow Circus and Mahogany Frog at ProgDay 2010. ProgDay is the longest running progressive rock festival in the world. The 16th edition will take place on Saturday, September 4, and Sunday, September 5, at Storybook Farm in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. For more information, and to hear music from this year's bands, please visit us at www.progday.net. One more band to be announced!

MARS HOLLOW Performs At ProgDay 2010!
MARS HOLLOW is a prog band from Southern California that's created quite a stir with their debut CD "Mars Hollow," released by 10T Records earlier this year. Listeners and critics alike have lauded it as one of the best symphonic albums of the year. Beginning with a foundation of early bands like ELP, Yes and Genesis, MARS HOLLOW mixes it up with later bands like Spock's Beard, and then finishes with a fresh contemporary twist to create melodic hook-driven progressive rock delivered with a flourish of expert musicianship. With just the right balance of old and new, this is a show that fans of symphonic rock won't want to miss!
