Jack Dupon
There's no need to search for JACK DUPON in the civil registration, because this legendary character doesn't exist! We're talking of a young French band here, made of four crazy people, phlegmatic adventurers of the Imaginary. Improvisers and storytellers. Polite and rude. Full of oppositions, contradictions… In one word: Alive. Their music is like their existences: out of styles and boundaries. Far away from the usual technical show-offery, their performances tell the story of the crazy JACK DUPON: Manitou and Mentor, Big Brother, a genius criminal of a thousand masks...
Published on the Gazul label in the year 2008, "L'Echelle Du Désir" explores the vast landscapes of Progressive rock, experimental and psychedelic music. Sometimes reminiscent of a kind of modern ETRON FOU LELOUBLAN, this music may also be related with SEBKHA-CHOTT's, or KING CRIMSON's electric dissonances. GONG also comes in mind, especially when having a look at the booklet, probably designed by some kind of flying teapot ! JACK DUPON is all but consensual, for our own pleasure...

Kinetic Element
KINETIC ELEMENT is a neo-symphonic progressive rock band from Richmond, Virginia, that harbors musical roots in classic artists like Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Yes, Asia and Genesis and blends those influences with philosophical and spiritually powerful and uplifting lyrics.
They recently completed their full-length recording Powered by Light at Sound of Music Studios in Richmond, Virginia and it was released in September 2009. In May 2008 KE was privileged to be a support act for Circa (featuring Tony Kaye and Alan White of Yes, at Jaxx in northern Virginia), Rare Blend (at Orion Studios in Baltimore, Maryland one of prog’s must-play venues), IZZ (who have played every prog festival in America, at the Artomatic festival in Washington, D.C.) and in 2009, Morglbl (at Capitol Ale House Music Hall in Richmond VA). KINETIC ELEMENT also performed at the Pre-Show for ProgDay 2008.
Besides promoting Powered by Light the band is actively writing new material and doing pre-production. (And searching for a full time member to play bass!) Powered by Light was nominated by www.Progawards.it in the category Best Debut CD of 2009.
