Presto Ballet is a progressive rock band founded by Metal Church guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof. Their sound is highly reminiscent of 70's prog rock, as the band was founded chiefly as a tribute to classic progressive bands such as Yes and Kansas. Their debut album Peace Among the Ruins was released in 2005 to general praise and considerable press. Critics consistently commented on the album's warm and organic sound, a feeling created through the use of analog recorders and vintage instruments, played with great skill and precision. The band used no drum machines, digital recorders or sequencers in the studio.

Wishing you you a killer halloween, thanks for thr friendship!!!tonights show sold out..wish you could be there!!! all the best your friend Jimmy for ~SOUND COLLISION!!
Nice farewell show for the Church at Rocklahoma, buddy! I was there with a side stage band, Harlot. Too bad the turnout was so weak this year.
Saw you last year at CalProg.....great show! I see that you are STILL looking for a keyboard player......I know how you feel.....I have been trying to get out of the Metal/Glam genre and into Prog for a few years myself.
Good luck with the search. Hope to see you again in the LA area. Maybe next album WILL win the Prog album of the year......(I voted for you last year).
Ryan, i'm just blown away, my buddy linked me to Presto and i've been listening to you guys for a week or so, wasnt until today that i befriended you guys. I always knew you were hitting it big, just had no idea it would be such a huge prog effort, i'm so stoked for you and the group, prog needs more new blood and needs more exposure. I still have all our sessions on audio cassette. If you have time, send me an email.
