Progday 2007: Qoph

Jim Morrison didn't die. He moved to Sweden and changed his name to Robin Kvist, eventually ending up in a bluesy hard-rock unit called Qoph. Hands down, Jim--I mean Robin Kvist was the best vocalist the entire weekend.

However, despite being from Sweden, Qoph didn't seem truly Prog. They didn't have the virtuosity, complexity, or sound. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that and I don't think they were trying to be. But then, one comes to a progressive festival primarily to hear prog.
