Puppet Show - yea.... we kinda rock.

About Me

Hailing from the heart of the "Silicon Valley" in Northern California, Puppet Show plays in the spirit of '70's classic progressive bands, but with an updated, modern sound. They combine rich melodies with odd meter and textured vocals to create a sound which appeals to fans of both classic and modern prog. Their sound has drawn widespread comparisons...

"Genesis seems to be their obvious big influence to me..."
"This reminded me strongly of Marillion [and Genesis]..."
"they did not sound like another Marillion/Genesis clone"
"This band reminds me a little of Cairo..."
"...the only obvious influence I can pick out is early Kansas..."
"If had to compare them to [a modern band], it'd probably be Echolyn..."
"[Puppet Show is] heavily influenced by Saga and Dream Theater..."
"[their sound is] a mix of Procol Harum and UK, T. Rex and Marillion.."
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
