PANZERBALLETT CROWDFUNDING

a message from Panzerballett 

Dear qB fans,

our crowdfunding campaign for the Panzerballett feat. Virgil Donati live album has now been running for three weeks, and we’ve just passed the 20% mark!

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. ❤️

In less than four weeks, we’ll be heading out on tour with Virgil, and we want to professionally record these shows and turn them into an official Panzerballett live album.

But we still need your help to make it happen, and our crowdfunding campaign has only 13 days left.

Besides the digital live album and the CD, there are several rewards that are only available through this campaign. You can become part of the music yourself by joining the Ode to Joy Chaos Choir, introduce a Panzerballett song live in front of the audience as an Official Song Announcer, or get your hands on one of the strictly limited Alien Hip Hop Score Editions.

And for musicians and composers, the Private Composer’s Workshop gives you the opportunity to spend two hours with me working exclusively on your own music.

If you’ve been thinking about supporting the project, now would be a great time to join us. And if none of the rewards are for you, simply sharing the campaign with others helps us enormously as well.

NEEDLEPOINT - OUTSIDE THE SCREEN

• Needlepoint: Outside The Screen
      (2012, cd, --, bjk music)

If you have a weak spot for the warm, sun-drenched whimsy of late-60s Canterbury prog or the looser, exploratory boundaries of psychedelic jazz fusion, then Norway’s Needlepoint needs to be on your radar immediately.

It has been a couple of years since I've listened to Needlepoint, and it was lovely to rediscover them.

Released on the BJK Music label, this record feels less like a modern product and more like a long-lost tape found tucked away in a 1971 recording studio cupboard. It strikes a perfect balance between highly structured, melodic pieces and fluid, free-flowing instrumental jams.

GROS COEUR - GROS DISQUE

• Gros Coeur: Gros Disque
      (2023, cd, Belgium, jauneorange records)
      (2023, lp, Belgium, jauneorange records)

Gros Coeur is a psychedelic rock band from Belgium.
Shifting song structures, exotic flavours, high energy alternating with almost pop songs,...

The band was founded by Adrien Chapelle (former bass player for the notorious Belgian punk outfit Cocaine Piss) and three musicians from diverse musical backgrounds.

• Adrien Chapelle – Frontman, Producer
• Jimmy Geers – Guitar
• Julien Trousson – Bass
• Alexandre De Bueger – Drums

"Gros Disque" was the band's first album, released in 2023.
In the meantime, they have added another album to their discography: "Vague Célérate", released in 2025.

This is nice !

Out on Bandcamp, but also on LP and on CD.

Recommended listening !

GOOSE - 2026/08/28 RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATER, MORRISON, CO

As one might have noticed, I've been listening to the concert recordings that Goose is putting on Bandcamp.
Not necessarily to the entire concert, but I like to listen to the first couple of songs and then pick out the special tracks.
For this Red Rocks show, I can recommend the stretched jam versions of 'Burn The Witch' (Radiohead) and 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head (Kylie Minogue).

TERRY BOZZIO

EDDIE JOBSON - - - U.K. REVISITED TOUR DATES

From GlassOnyon PR

EDDIE JOBSON - U.K. REVISITED - 2026 U.S. DATES ANNOUNCED

Legendary musician Eddie Jobson, the co-founder of ’70s progressive-rock supergroup ‘U.K.,’ is returning to the U.S. for just three concerts in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. Performing the music of U.K. for the first time in almost a decade, he will be joined by Marc Bonilla (CTA, Keith Emerson); Alex Machacek (U.K., Brand X); and Marco Minnemann (U.K., Hans Zimmer, The Aristocrats). Jobson has stated that these could be his final ‘U.K.' concerts in North America. His son, Chris Jobson will perform a short opening set in his U.S. solo debut.

The confirmed dates are:
Oct. 5th The Roxy Theatre, West Hollywood  [on sale 10am PDT Monday August 31st]
Oct. 7th Reggie's, Chicago  [on sale 12pm CDT Monday August 31st]
Oct. 10th ProgStock, Rutherford, NJ

Tickets for Los Angeles and Chicago go on sale on Monday August 31st.

Though best-known as the first violinist inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and as one of the top keyboard players in the progressive-rock genre, having played with Curved Air, King Crimson, U.K., Yes and Jethro Tull, Jobson has actually spent the majority of his career as a cross-genre composer and producer. A child prodigy violinist and young classical composer and pianist, he first came to international attention replacing Brian Eno as synthesist in the influential art-rock band Roxy Music at the age of 18; going on to becoming Frank Zappa’s keyboardist and electric violinist at the age of 21, and forming U.K. at 22 with Allan Holdsworth, John Wetton and Bill Bruford. Leaving the rock world and international arena touring at the age of 25, Jobson became a multi-award-winning composer for television and film, scoring over 100 TV dramas, working on several movies, and focusing on a diverse range of recording projects for his own international label Globe Music, before briefly reforming U.K. in 2014.

Regarded by many as the consummate musician, Jobson’s live performances have received accolades worldwide for their musical power and for the band’s unparalleled virtuosity.
