While those of us in the US may only just be hearing about Court, they've been around since 1990. They released their first album in 1993 and it got rave reviews. They started touring throughout Europe at that time, increasing their fan base and their reputation at once. As good as these guys are it's no shock that they would be wowing audiences wherever they played.

Their second disc came four years later. Once again the reviews were positive and the band continued to become an ever bigger presence in the European progressive rock scene. Their new album comes ten years after the last one and shows a band who have stayed true to their musical roots while still managing to keep their sound fresh and vital. It's no question that this vitality and musical integrity will lead to a killer show at Kryptonite.

If you follow progressive rock, you really need to make this show. It's a great way to check out a very talented band. Just as important, though, it's an excellent method of letting the people who schedule shows in Rockford that there is an audience for this type of band. If you want to see more prog rock, get out there and support this gig. Also, if you'd like to check the band out in advance, be sure to stop by their website at www.courtband.com. You can listen to some of their music there, check out some videoclips and more. The Court will be in session on June 13^th at Kryptonite. You really should be there.
