We’ll be playing this BTW. If you’re in Glasgow at the end of November then come see the Daughters!!

F***k Trump and all his henchmen!!

A photo of me with an advance copy of Andrew Wild’s latest opus, part two of his history of what became known as Neo-prog (Cough! Splutter! ). Reading through it so far it gives a useful context to what went on and when. What a long, strange trip it’s been!

This is now live: www.justgiving.com/page/alan-re... I’ve also blogged on it. Give as much - or as little- as you can. Every penny counts

Seems we’ll be doing this on Saturday, 29th of November. We’ll be playing a full set!

Have agreed to stop bombing infrastructure. So I'll have more time to focus on military targets like hospitals.

F***k Trump and all his henchmen!!

With Agent Orange in the White House, who knows how long anyone has left. Not us. Not you. Not the Ukrainians, not the Canadians, and not the Greenlanders. We felt we had to do something - however small. We have released ‘TGA’ via streaming sites. You know what to do! Slava Ukraini - Pallas

We are releasing ‘The Great Attractor’ via all streaming sites in the next few days. It’s passed its review stages view TuneCore, so it should be up in the next few days. With Agent Orange in the WH we had to do something! Slava Ukraini!

So we’re doing this. Four acts to celebrate midsummer. We may even attempt some Pallas. facebook.com/events/s/gal...

There might not be any Pallas gigs on the horizon, but this is worth seeing. He may even attempt the odd Pallas track!

Look what Alan’s partner found. A 7” of ‘Paris is Burning’!

Seems we’re also at the heart of vol2 of a book by Andrew Wild. Vol 1 covered the years with Euan.

Seems that the reissues did ok. No 10 in this month’s Prog magazine. We, of course, don’t hold with such things. Unless of course we win them 😂

Today's listening - excellent acoustic mini album from @3hobbits.bsky.social : features a lovely version of @pallasofficial.bsky.social 's 'Sanctuary'!

Alan has blogged: 3hobbitsblog.wordpress.com/2024/12/15/a...

A full statement is on FB, and Alan will blog on this later. We’re sorry that we couldn’t bow out as intended, but we have to be realistic. Alan, Graeme, Niall and Ronnie

However, with every bit of good news comes something bad. We’ve decided that we’re ’retiring’ as a live outfit. We looked at touring, but we just couldn’t make the sums add up. Add in the costs of re-equipping, a drummer and bringing Niall back from Cambodia and it wasn’t to be.

We’ve decided that we’ll work together on another album. No title or release date as yet, but we’ve abandoned most of the material from The Messenger sessions in favour of working afresh. Expect it to be rockier, but also another ‘progression’.

From 2011. A return to the Atlantis theme of 1984’s The Sentinel… I think. Impressive artwork and the music’s pretty good too! Pallas - XXV

POD (Prince of Darkness aka Niall Mathewson) decides whether to eat a cat or stroke it.

Although technically it doesn't really meet the criteria, having first been published in 2010, I'm pleased to see the remastered Under the Ivy included among @popmatters.bsky.social Best Books of 2024 www.popmatters.com/tag/best-boo...

My claim to fame is that this is my right hand on the front cover of this excellent soon-to-be-reissued cassette album from 1982. Don't ask what my left hand was up to at the photoshoot.

Back to these guys… Pallas

Here’s us up to date with The Messenger. It’s nearly a year old

Getting reacquainted Pallas

Turned into a Pallas day. This was a beautifully packaged LP. Why I let it go I’ll never know! This is the later version with the intended running order.

And again… Pallas
