FOR OUR CDBABY iSOUND PROFILE, GO HERE .......................... www.isound.com/citadel_tm .......................... that's where the whole catalog of songs lives now .......................... Citadel® started as a band in the late seventies with "Silence of Surrender" on the first QFM Hometown Album & live Agora simul-cast in Columbus, Ohio. In 1990, their debut CD, "The Citadel of Cynosure & Other Tales" was chosen as "Best of KLOS Local Licks" in Los Angeles. Shows from Ohio to California included The Troubador, Roxy and many more. The self-produced band also originated and co-produced the first ProgFest at UCLA's Royce Hall - this event changed the face of progressive music and spawned countless similar festivals across the globe. Citadel's most recent releases include, "Vintage Vinyls" "Regenerative Generation" At The Rainbow's End" and others are available on the bands website at www.citadelsongs.com, along with MP3 downloads, lyrics, photos... Now based on the West Coast, the band is always changing members around founder, R. Douglass/G. Whitman. The next CD, will be available in 2007.
"Although (we're) not self identified as progressive, that is what the reviewers were likening us to from the start. We don't cater to that, but we don't mind it either, what are genre labels anyway but restrictive subjective opinions - not everything we do classifies as a 'progressive' song, it's more about the diversity of styles on our releases that gives us a progressive feel overall..." comments Whitman in a 2006 podcast interview.

Over the years, a variety of intergalactic sources have been established for accessing the multimedia material of the Sci-Fi-Fantasy Rock Band, Citadel®, which was founded by Whitman & Hutchison. From shows across the US to co-founding Progfest, Citadel® is still releasing music and going strong, even though many names and faces have changed over the years...
All imposters and infringers should be forewarned: "either cease and desist or you'll be shut down, like all the other folks who are too lazy (or too daft) to check the USPTO BEFORE choosing a name for themselves."

Cynosure & Other Tales" © Citadel ® -
...Starting with the Great War between the Affrage and the Diplomats, the struggle for power, resources, slaves and planetary occupation raged on through generations. Most of the earliest recorded galactic history was lost during the 2nd Quadrant Burn, when hundreds of galaxies were disintegrated by a disaster on a planet-sized weapons development satellite. This catastrophe affected different races in unique ways. Some sought to take control of the remaining resources and governments, others were content to be ruled. Still, others were desperate to find a calm existence in a natural environment where generations of peaceful development could eventually lead to a positive dominance in their dimension. These people banded into diverse tribal units under one code and called themselves the Dreemurz. These beings stood for peace and preservation, progress and protection, love and hope - the common dream of most higher sentient corporal life forms. Early on in their history, thousands in the tribes of Dreemurz eluded the battle front and war-ravaged solar regions, and dispersed throughout the remaining galaxies in the uncontaminated outer lying quadrants. One tribe had earlier restored the songs and poems of their pre-space age ancestors from a transparent acetate platter that was found sealed in a Prism Ice meteor fragment floating in a sea of asteroids - once an inhabited galaxy. These songs and poems preserved the truths and principles of the Dreemurz nation and each of the tribes took a set of scrolls with them as they split up in search of refuge from the ceaseless conflicts in known space...
