2007 - 2018
The Missing Piece is a progressive rock band from the North West of the Netherlands. Founded in 2007 they experienced many changes in their line-up. Their music is characterized by the band as a mix of profound but accessible music.
The band consists out of five experienced progressive rock musicians who approach music like an art painter paints a picture. They believe in strong melody lines, arrangements and soundscapes just to convey the right atmosphere. The band’s name comes from the eponymous Gentle Giant album. Their music is mostly influenced by the great old names in this genre.
