German Prog Rockers RPWL will be returning to the U.S. to perform at the CalProg Festival on October 2, 2010 in Whittier, California at the Center Stage Theater. RPWL will be appearing alongside: Ambrosia, District 97 and Mirthkon. They will be supporting their tenth anniversary retrospective "The Gentle Art of Music", which just hit stores.
RPWL guitarist and founding member Kalle Wallner had the following to say about the bands return to the United States: "Almost three years have passed since our last gig in the U.S. Playing at the Rites Of Spring Festival in 2007 was a gorgeous experience. The people there have been traveling to Philadelphia from all over the States and were having a great party. So, we're of course looking forward to coming back and meeting some of our old friends, and hope that we'll be able to make a lot of new friends in Los Angeles at the CalProg Festival."
"The Gentle Art of Music" is RPWL'S first release on their own label also called "The Gentle Art of Music" and it is being distributed in North America via Dismanic/AFM Records/ADA.
RPWL have teamed up with AOL Radio to offer a free MP3 download of their track "Trying to Kiss the Sun". The title track of their 2002 album Trying to Kiss the Sun is a perfect and pure representation of what the RPWL sound is all about. This song also appears on their forthcoming release The Gentle Art of Music a two-disc retrospective celebrating the band's tenth anniversary.
