PROG ROCK ALERT: "YES" TO TOUR WITH ASIA

Even though the Yes website has no info yet,
an email from Bowery Productions says that Yes and Asia will play Montclair, New Jersey's Welmont Theater on July 29. Double the Steve Howe! I hope he's in good shape. Of course, it is still the Jon Anderson-less version of Yes. I wish they would cut that out already.

In cooler Yes news, drummer Alan White will be performing the music of John Lennon at a benefit concert for Race for the Cure (an organization dedicated to fighting breast cancer) at the Snoqualmie Casino. Yes' Chris Squire will also be there, as will former Yes guitarist/singer/songwriter Trevor Rabin, who left the band in the early '90s. Also in the band, one of my favorite singers, Shawn Smith of Brad! (Alan White was in an early version of John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band, by the way).
