Legendary
Prog group Spock's
Beard are back at work on the follow up to 2015's 'The
Oblivion Particle'. The band are now pleased to announce the return of
original member Nick D'Virgilio on drums for the next album. D'Virgilio
played with the group on the recent Cruise to the Edge in Feb following the
departure of drummer Jimmy Keegan.
The
band had this to say about the D'Virgilio's return.
"Spock's Beard is super excited to announce that
the amazing Nick D'Virgilio has agreed to play on our next album!
Nick of
course is well known to SB fans as our former drummer/lead singer/all around
awesome dude as well as for working with artists such as Genesis, Mike
Keneally, Peter Gabriel and Big Big Train among others. Nick was with us when
we first started and we are over the moon to have him back with us for this
album! We know you'll be as excited as we are to hear what we will be able to
create with him back pounding the skins. We've been writing new material and plan
to start recording in earnest in late May, so stay tuned!"
D'Virgilio
was the group's original drummer from 1995-2010 and was the band's lead
singer for 4 albums from 2003-2010 before leaving the band. Vocalist
Ted Leonard and drummer Jimmy Keegan were brought into the band following his
departure and recorded two albums with that lineup.
The
band's 12th studio album 'The Oblivion Particle' was released in August 2015
on InsideOutMusic, and was a successful follow up to the band's 2013 release
"Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep", and charted all over the
world.
