Announcing – Spock’s Beard has a new recording and touring lineup!
To keep bringing you the finest Prog Rock, we’ve brought on board the amazing vocalist/guitarist Ted Leonard (Enchant, Thought Chamber) and Jimmy Keegan (Santana, John Waite), who’s been our tour drummer for close to 10 years now. If you know these guys, you know they’re world class. They bring exciting new energy and creativity to the party.
We regret that Nick D’Virgilio, a founding member of the band, good friend and incredible talent is unable to continue with us due to his other commitments. Please continue to support him, check out his new solo CD “Pieces,” go see him with Cirque du Soleil and follow whatever other madness he's up to. He’s awesome. We wish him the best of luck and the success he deserves. We wouldn’t be here without NDV!
Look for a new live Spock’s Beard DVD and extensive European tour in early 2012, followed by our 11th studio release sometime in the summer. We’re energized and excited, and will be posting updates and sound samples as we progress.
Thank you for continuing to support us through the years and changes. We stay committed to bringing you the finest in Prog Rock and taking it into the future.
Nick...

Et NDV s'en était déjà expliqué il y a quelques jours sur son site officiel:

The time has come.
It is very hard for me to write this, but as all good things come to an end at sometime or another, unfortunately I have to tell you all that my time with Spock’s Beard has come to a close.
As you may or may not know, for almost 2 years now I have been working for Cirque Du Soleil on the touring show TOTEM. Traveling a bit of the globe with my family on an adventure that has been great, but also very tough. Great because I am finally able to fully support my family with this very unstable life I chose as a musician, but also very tough because this job has made it hard to do other things and the main thing is Spock’s Beard.
For the first time in 20 years I had to miss shows when the band played a few festivals this past summer. Needless to say it was very, very strange not being there. I have been trying to land a permanent resident show for next year which would leave me a little more time to tour with SB but that has not happened yet and I don’t know when exactly that will happen. I recently signed for another year with Cirque because I cannot just get up and quit until something else can takes its place. I am sure you all understand that I have to take care of my main responsibility and that is my family. Spock’s Beard has never been the main money maker for me, or any of the other guys in the band. We have always had to do other things to supplement our incomes and for me now the other thing just happens to be Cirque.
The Spock’s guys want to keep moving forward and it is just Murphy’s Law for SB that everyone else is totally available to tour at the moment and I am not. For many years, I was available for anything but we couldn’t tour as much as we wanted because of other schedules. Now with my job it doesn’t look like I am going to be available anytime soon. I totally understand where the guys are coming from, wanting to tour and make new albums and I have too much respect for them and SB to say that they cannot keep going without me. The guys are eager to keep the ball rolling, and as hard as that is to imagine without me I give them my blessing fully and wish them nothing but the best in whatever they do.
I have had the best time and have made some of the best music of my career with Dave, Al, Ryo, and Neal and will take those memories with me for the rest of my life.
This is not to say that I will never play with the guys again. If all of the stars align in future and I can do something I surely will but for now the guys will be going on without me and I humbly ask all of you SB fans that have been nothing short of amazing, to keep the flame burning for them.
SO for my future, even with the crazy schedule of my Cirque job I have still been able to release a new solo EP “PIECES” recently and even did some solo shows. Those things are easier for me to do because I can do those within the areas that I am living at the time and I am planning on many more solo gigs in the future so keep an eye and ear out for those announcements. I will be going back to London at the beginning of 2012 with Cirque and during that time I will be able to get back down to Rob Aubrey’s studio to do some more sessions with the great BIG BIG TRAIN and even try and finish a project that got started a number of years ago now called “PULSE” with Mike Holmes of IQ fame. I am also writing a lot for more solo music of my own.
Thank you to my family. Your support has been my rock for many years now, I know that will always be there and I am so thankful for that.
Thank you to all of the great guys who have crewed for SB over the years and have gone way beyond the call of duty to get us on and off stage. Especially Rob, Olly, and Tommy. I will for sure miss touring with you guys.
Thank you to the promoters and venues that have opened up their stages to us.
Thank you Jimmy Keegan for holding down the fort while I was up front and kickin ass for SB over the years.
Thank you to all of my amazing endorsement companies.
In closing, THANK YOU to all of the Spock’s Beard fans out there who have given us so much amazing and heart felt support over the years. We could not have done it without you all. It has been an amazing journey for me and I will never ever forget the great times we have shared together.
It’s time for a change…
Nick

"Nick ? Quel sens a ce prénom ?"
"Aucun, mon père avait le hoquet".
Triste aussi, mais content pour Ted, Enchant étant pour moi mort et enterré à la seconde où j'ai fini la première écoute de Tug Of War. |

Je suis sûr que beaucoup disaient la même chose après le départ de Neal Morse, et même si le groupe a perdu en popularité par la suite, il s'est tout de même bien défoncé pour sortir de bons, voire d'excellents, albums. Et n'oublions pas que Dave Meros et Alan Morse étaient les deux principaux compositeurs sur les deux derniers.
Mais Spock's Beard sans Nick D'Virgilio, ça donne subitement beaucoup moins envie.
Heureusement qu'ils n'ont pas engagé Mike Portnoy en qualité de batteur-chanteur

Je ne doute pas de leur capacité à produire de bons trucs, mais bon Neal et Nick étaient quand même les deux plus grosses personnalités du groupe, celles qui le hissaient au-dessus de la masse des autres groupes du genre. Enfin, on verra bien, de toute façon ça fait longtemps que j'ai lâché l'affaire

Ouais, j'avais jeté une oreille distraite, sans plus. J'ai compris que c'était Neal que j'aimais, davantage que Spock's Beard.

Neal, qui, rappelons-le, était présent sur X: "The Emperor's Clothes"
Mais au fond, tu évoques à priori le sentiment de nombreux anciens fans du groupe. Et même pour ceux qui ont accroché avec la seconde version du groupe, je crois que la suite va être moins attirante.
En tout cas, moi, j'ai peur d'écouter la suite avec cette fameuse oreille distraite, d'autant plus que je ne connais pas vraiment ce nouveau chanteur.

Tu veux vraiment qu'ils splittent pour de bon, c'est ça?

Je dis : "Pourquoi pas ?"
Même si le thème des premières secondes m'a fait penser à un copier-coller de je-ne-sais-quel morceau de Neal. |

Pareil, content pour ted, ça fait plaisir de le retrouver la.
Et comme d'hab, je suis pas certain que le spock's beard sans Neal sans moins intéressant que celui avec.

Le nouvel album de Spock's Beard est mis en boîte et sa sortie est prévue pour le premier mars 2013 en édition limitée si vous le précommandez sur le site internet du groupe, puis pour le mois d'avril dans les bacs via InsideOut.
| Citation: |
PREORDER SPOCK’S BEARD’S 11TH STUDIO CD NOW!
The preorder for our next CD has finally begun!
We are now taking preorders for a Limited Edition of our 11th studio CD.
Target delivery date for the Limited Edition is March 01, 2013
Proceeds from this preorder are a necessary part of the funding required to put out a quality product, so your support is greatly appreciated!
The title of the CD is “Brief Nocturnes And Dreamless Sleep” and will be shipped as a main disc PLUS a bonus disc. This privately released Limited Edition will contain an additional bonus track and some extra booklet pages that will not be on the InsideOut release in April.
As a gesture of appreciation for your trust in Spock’s Beard, by purchasing this CD before it is even finished your preordered copies will be shipped a month before being released worldwide by InsideOut / Century Media.
You’ll notice that there are more preorder options this time, one of which is a digital download. There are also some more expensive packages offered that are quite unique and may be highly interesting to some of you.
Preorder soon because it is a Limited Edition with only 5,000 units available. (The 5,000 total units available will be divided between digital downloads and physical CDs). Once they’re gone, they’re gone, never to be reissued.
Thank you for your interest and support!! |
Pour les plus convaincus des fans, certains packagings prévus en précommande peuvent être intéressants, comme le lot à 75$ qui inclut un bandana de Ryo, ou encore celui à 20000$ qui vous permet de devenir l'heureux propriétaire de la batterie de Jimmy Keegan.
C'est du délire, et ça se passe par là
