King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Band and Crimson ProjeKct

21st Century Schizoid Band and Crimson ProjeKct

The 2000s also saw the reunion of former King Crimson members from the band's first four albums. The 21st Century Schizoid Band (fronted by Jakko Jakszyk and featuring Ian McDonald, Mel Collins, Peter Giles and Michael Giles – the latter later replaced by Ian Wallace) toured and played material from the band's 1960s and 1970s catalogue.

In September 2008, a line-up called Crimson Project with Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, Eddie Jobson and Eric Slick (from the Adrian Belew Power Trio) played a short set at a Russian festival. In 2011-2, a band consisting of Belew, Levin, Mastelotto, Julie Slick and Tobias Ralph (both from the Adrian Belew Power Trio) and Markus Reuter (from Stick Men with Levin and Mastelotto) played King Crimson material live, latterly under the name Crimson ProjeKct.

Famous quotes containing the words century, band and/or crimson:

    In the nineteenth century the problem was that God is dead; in the twentieth century the problem is that man is dead.
    Erich Fromm (1900–1980)

    The band waked me with a serenade. How they improve! A fine band and what a life in a regiment! Their music is better than food and clothing to give spirit to the men.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    As the saffron tints and crimson flushes of morn herald the coming day, so the social and political advancement which woman has already gained bears the promise of the rising of the full-orbed sun of emancipation. The result will be not to make home less happy, but society more holy.
    Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)
