The Watch April 15, 2011

The Watch is Italy's foremost progressive rock band and one of the genre's new shining stars. With founding member Simone Rossetti's vocal style not dissimilar to Peter Gabriel's, it comes as know surprise to find the band is heavily influenced by Genesis at their 70s peak with elements of Spock's Beard and Anglagard thrown in for good measure. Indeed the band recently performed the classic Genisis album 'Selling England By The Pound' live from beginning to end to rave reviews.

Playing at Band on the Wall as part of a major European tour, with a set showcasing many of their own original compositions, this band is completely dazzling in concert featuring outstanding, cerebral muscianship and full-on incandescent live performance.
