Rosfest After Hours

At the end of the evening, a fun little gathering of people at the Holiday Inn where Gatineau-based The Rebel Wheel were invited to perform. Gary, David, Angie and Aaron blew the crowd away with a blistering performance that had George Roldan and Tom Smith cheering loudly, what a wonderful last-minute addition to the fest. The kids turned heads big time! A resounding success! ...Robert Dansereau, aka Roddenberry on Progressive Ears

Best band of Friday to me on a consistent basis was actually Rebel Wheel at the after hours party at the Holiday Inn. They had a distinct early/mid-70s King Crimson flavor, particularly with a Mel Collins influence that featured plenty of soprano and alto sax. Loved their sound and energy from beginning to end. ...Dale Stubitsch, aka dalegtr on Progressive Ears

Thanks for mentioning the Rebel Wheel who were fantastic...Rick Dashiell

Nuance

The last band up at the NUANCE festival was 'Rebel Wheel'. I had heard of them, but had I had never heard their music before. I, and all of us, were in for a real treat! Unfortunately, the only flaw in the show was that there was no lighting at all on the stage! I had to check the web site to see what they looked like! Other than that, Rebel Wheel simply blew me away! Intricate melodies weaved through amazing arrangements that soared through the the night! They had a touch of King Crimson with a taste of Mostly Autumn in their sound, and I could give no higher praise. However, they really do have a sound all their own, and they are an absolute delight to listen to! This is what great prog music is; fantastic playing at breakneck speed, with intricate facets of each piece shining like a diamond!

For those who get a chance to see this incredible band live, do not hesitate to do so! They are an absolute delight to watch and listen to. They have a CD out, but you have to order it from the website. It's not available in stores....Doug Leblanc, Canadian Progressive Music Society
