Press Release Summary: Spock's Beard member releases Genesis Tribute

Press Release Body: Rancho Santa Margarita, CA EUR" 17 September 2008 EUR" Nashville-based
recording engineer/producer and a Los Angeles-based performer have teamed up to
create a unique twist on a classic Genesis album. This fall, Nick D'Virgilio of
Spock's Beard fame and engineer/producer Mark Hornsby are re-recording the Genesis
classic: The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, in it's entirety. Produced at Java Jive
Studio in Nashville, the album features some of Music CityEUR(tm)s best musicians, taking
the songs in a whole new direction.

"We wanted to see what would happen if we exposed the songs to a different climate
of musicians," says D'Virgilio, "The early Genesis recordings are so musical and
very bluesy when you get right down to it. They really lend themselves to some
different interpretations. When it came time to figure out what label to work
with, I remembered working with Shawn on the AmaranEUR(tm)s Plight release and had been
really pleased with how that all worked out and I knew what a big Genesis fan he is,
so IEUR(tm)m glad it worked out." Nick is no stranger to Genesis as he performed on the
prog legends latest release.

Although all of the original elements of the songs are still included such as drums,
bass, guitar and piano, the recordings now take on a more "theatrical" vibe. This,
coupled with orchestra, rock guitars, and some fantastic horn arrangements, the
songs now enter an entirely different place.

"We had talked about doing something like this for awhile," says Hornsby, "With the
recent attention our version of The Colony of Slippermen received, and the
re-release of the original album in 5.1, the time seemed right to see what we could
come up with. After the first conference call with Shawn, I felt really
comfortable about working with him, and we all managed to make it work and realize
the fruition of our vision."

"Genesis is one of my all time favorite bands and I spent many hours reading the
lyrics and liner notes for The Lamb. Nick is one of my favorite drummers, and to
combine these two elements in what is an amazing re-imaging of The Lamb is a
fantastic thing to be part of," said Shawn Gordon, President of ProgRock Records.

"A Tribute to The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" is the ProgRock Records debut release
from Rewiring Genesis and can be found at
