News: Their last significant update to Facebook regarding their own existence is May of 2015. Last check: December 26, 2018


Location: Gothenburg

Overview: There are few bands one can call retro prog and neo prog in the same sentence, but Simon Says are one of them. They are one of the finest of recent bands to recreate the spirit of the early 1970s Genesis sound.
