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 analogue recorders and vintage instruments, played with great skill and precision. The band used no drum machines, digital recorders or sequencers in the studio. Jeff Wade, the band's drummer, left in early 2006. According to the band's official website they began the recording of their second studio release in April 2007; however, there has been no update since that time. Current Members · Scott Albright - Lead vocals, acoustic guitar · Kurdt Vanderhoof - Guita
