The Wait of Glory" (releases January 31, 2006)
Another release from the band that never thought it would play again. Disbanded over thirty years ago, PK has come back with a vengeance. "The Wait of Glory" again features eleven new originals by Composer/Guitarist Kerry Livgren recorded in the Summer of 2005. PK continues with its debut line-up with the exception of Mike Patrum on drums who replaces Brad Schulz. "The Wait of Glory" contains over 60 minutes of eclectic music that transcends traditional prog formulas and goes into avant garde passages and jam band riffs. Another exciting aspect of this cd are the beautiful melodies and vocal harmonies. The combination of prog, jam, funk and melody is truely unique and unlike no other band you've ever heard!The Special Edition release will include the primary eleven tracks, plus a bonus studio track and a DVD with songs from the bands July, 2005 Progressive Legends Rock Festival performance.















Before Became After
Ten exciting new songs by Proto-Kaw including nine original compositions by Composer/Guitarist Kerry Livgren. This CD includes 65 minutes of new music! The Special Edition contains one new original song recording, a live version of "Belexes", plus a “single” version of “Words of Honor”. It also includes an insightful retrospective video about the group.
As a result of the success of the archival cd, "Early Recordings from Kansas, 1971-73" this version of Kansas met again in the Fall of 2002 to renew old friendships and celebrate the cd release. When the group jammed, the magic started again and the group discussed the "possibility" of playing again. Starting in the Spring of 2003, Proto-Kaw began to record again and spent most of that year in the studio resulting in an outstanding effort. Playing together again is now a reality with the release of "Before Became After". Ten strong songs that span the gap between progressive and classic rock. Each song is it's own story...strung together to form an enjoyable cd that gets better with each listen. Proto-Kaw's "Before Became After" is the music you've wanted to hear for years... memorable enough to remind you of your past progressive rock favorites, but new enough to be as exciting a brand of music as you've ever heard!
Great instrumentation and strong vocals blend into exceptional compositions by Kerry Livgren and Proto-Kaw has risen again. Most say their efforts sound better now than 30 years ago... but the band just wants to play the style of music they never had a chance to play. "Before Became After" is their long awaited cd...by 30 years... and it's well worth the wait!
