Lex Live" showcases Glass Hammer’s legendary 8-member NEARfest 2003 lineup featuring Steve Babb, Fred Schendel, Walter Moore, Matt Mendians and Susie Bogdanowicz. Glass Hammer’s highly acclaimed "Lex Rex" album is performed in near-entirety, along with music from Chronometree and Perelandra. Prog fans will discover a high-energy symphonic-rock concert, with an edgier incarnation of the band than their studio albums reveal. Progressive-metal drummer Matt Mendians sees to that, as does front-man and guitarist Walter Moore. The keyboard sounds are as big as ever though, and keyboard-wizard Fred Schendel delivers his greatest performance ever.
In a recent Background Magazine (Holland) article, Henri Strik calls Glass Hammer’s "Lex Rex" a "masterpiece," and names Glass Hammer as "America’s leading prog band." 1340.mag.com names Glass Hammer as its pick for number one indie-group of the year, and the "band to watch explode in 2004" Lex Live will put to rest any doubts that Glass Hammer has risen to the top-spot of the American prog scene. The one hour long bonus features section includes behind-the-scenes footage, rehearsals, other concert appearances and more.
