Yes!  Although I'm reluctant to guess where and when.  But I can tell you
that Shawn Ahearn of Pangea seems to be definitely bumping up his efforts in
promoting space rock, in addition to the Prog festivals/releases he does.
For instance, his label is issuing the 2CD Strange Daze compilation (next
month?), and he's promoting the Porcupine Tree tour (including the
performance at the ProgFest in San Francisco).

BTW, here are the current tourdates for that, as far as I know...the May 26
show is with Magma, as well as Progfest.  Not sure about any of the other
dates.  Magma's tour seems more uncertain - I think they're actually
planning to go to Mexico City!

Porcupine Tree No. America Tour 1999
May 23          Le D'Auteuille          Quebec City, Canada
May 24          Higher Ground           Burlington, Vermont
May 26          Phantasmagoria          Wheaton, Maryland
May 27          Knitting Factory        New York
May 30          Palace of Fine Arts     San Francisco (Progfest '99)
June2           Troubadour              Los Angeles
June3           Shank Hill              Milwaukee, Wisconsin
June4           House of Blues          Chicago
June5           Euclid Tavern           Cleveland, Ohio

Anyway, the Hawkwind US/NA tour planned for this fall is likely to be a
joint Lascko/Ahearn project, and that may (and I stress, *may*) lead to some
sort of Strange Daze West in the future.
