Icons of English progressive rock, Van der Graaf Generator still feature three of the original touring members. Their signature sound is shaped by Peter Hammill's distinctive & dynamic voice, Hugh Banton's thick chordal keyboard & bass parts and Guy Evans' rolling jazz-rock-like drumming. Among their prog-rock peers, King Crimson's guitarist Robert Fripp guested on two Van der Graaf Generator albums. Forming in Manchester 1968, they first broke out on BBC Radio One and supported Jimi Hendrix at London's Royal Albert Hall. Since their reunion in 2006 as a trio, the group has remained active and produced new material as well as reworked versions of earlier songs. They have toured worldwide for the past six years and on the strength of their newest release, A Grounding in Numbers, Van der Graaf Generator will once again storm North America with a vengeance.
