Kite Parade: Complex and catchy popprog.

Tweet

Kite Parade is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Andy Foster, and The Way Home is his debut album. On that album he is supported by seven skilled musicians and among them Nick D’Virgilio (Spock’s Beard, Big Big Train) and Joe Crabtree (Wishbone Ash). This indicate very good music, and yes The Way Home is a very good prog-pop album with total time of 48:22. The music is melodic, catchy, and vibrant and the alum`s closer Stranded is epic. There are a fair amount of complexity and proggy elements to keep me interested.

Kite Parade is a rock band from the South of England and is the creative outlet for musician Andy Foster. His songs come from a passion for all things prog, rock and interesting pop !
