St. Elmo's Fire gets major press attention
Posted on March 1, 2007 1:49 AM
|  Jan 2006:
St. Elmo's Fire has finally begun to receive some of the well deserved attention that they had been denied for over 25 years. Progression, the worlds pre-eminent progressive rock magazine has published a six page in-depth article in the latest issue. That issue, #50 hit the news stands and mail boxes in December 2006. Publisher John Collinge said it was about time that they did a feature article on the band, "the tale of St. Elmo's Fire still deserves telling - not only for the music it made back then, or for historical perspective on the genre's commercial decline, but also for keeping its creative "fire" stoked more than a quarter century later." . The feature covers the bands irratic recording history since 1979 and includes an interview with band members as well as info on St. Elmo off-shoots Brain Forest, Kill Tim's Grass and progenitor Vasil Zook.
