Citadel® started as a band in the late seventies with "Silence of Surrender" on the first QFM Hometown Album & live Agora simul-cast in Columbus, Ohio. In 1990, their debut CD, "The Citadel of Cynosure & Other Tales" was chosen as "Best of KLOS Local Licks" in Los Angeles.
Shows from Ohio to California include The Agora (Newport), Legend Valley, Troubadour, Roxy and many more. The self-produced band also originated and co-produced the first ProgFest at UCLA's Royce Hall - this event changed the face of progressive music and spawned countless similar festivals across the globe.

Why this name?
Why: It fits into the lyric/storyline artwork concept of our band, we like the three syllable rhythm, and the symbolism.
How: Exhaustive search of tradename records, lots of cash to the state and US registrars, legal fees, publishing for opposition, Sec 8 renewals and cyclic renewal (plus more $) to the USPTO. That is why we can and are legally bound to put the following:

Do you play live?
Our shows are based around releases and publications, and the geographical area of the concert determines the member configuration of the band on stage. Write us at citadel_1@msn.com for live show details.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Now it is much easier for the indie artist to garner attention and audience, likewise it is easier for garbage to flood the net. This is the future, this is the only way, the old machine is dying from self-starvation...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
You have got to be kiddin'...?
