In other news, PRESTO BALLET has parted ways with drummer Jeffrey McCormack. Bassist Bobby Ferkovich says, "[Jeffrey] is unfortunately going through some rough times right now and felt couldn't commit enough of his time and effort to us. Although he was only with us a short time, Jeffrey is one of my dearest friends and I'm sad to see him go."

PRESTO BALLET has launched a massive search for a permanent replacement drummer, so if you are interested or know anyone who is, please send an email to kurdt@prestoballet.com.

PRESTO BALLET released its latest album, "Invisible Places", on February 4, 2011 via SAOL / H'Art / Zebralution.

PRESTO BALLET's current lineup consists of Vanderhoof, Munroe, keyboardist Kerry Shacklett and Ferkovich.

PRESTO BALLET's music was previously described as "highly reminiscent of '70s prog rock, as the band was founded chiefly as a tribute to classic progressive bands such as YES and KANSAS."
