Mars Volta lead singer Cedric Bixler Zavala was just one of many great progressive rock bands that performed at the 2009 Monolith Festival, but the future of the festival is in question due to sponsorship, or possible lack thereof, in any case this festival that was held at the world famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 2007, 2008 and 2009 was a one of a kind event that will be sorely missed by those looking for leading edge music if the show does not go on. The Monolith group put together a great video of last years festival and I thought you might like to see what a killer progressive rock festival looks like. If you you watch closely you can even see yours truly at the30 second mark.
