It sure makes my going to Yes much more interesting. And I totally won't mind leaving during the half speed "Roundabout" encore.

If Yes plays Fragile in its entirety first on this tour, "Roundabout" will be the opener!

He can be late returning to theater after grabbing a beer or two between bands!

I'm good at drinking beer, too!

Yes don't always do these full album tours in their order of release. Last year they opened with Close To The Edge,then played The Yes Album,then Going For The One. My guess is they will start with Close To The Edge because it's a great opener and their most difficult album to play.

Well this may very well end up being in the thread of openers blowing the headliner off the stage! Though they're different, and i'm super glad Syd Arthur is getting the exposure...

Discovered this group yesterday, never heard of them before, beautiful stuff, love all of it !

The Yes news has hit their Facebook page.

So we have some BIG news and some unfortunate news... We have been invited on tour with Yes (official) this summer in the USA. Its a huge tour that see's us in the USA for 7 1/2 weeks and playing some wonderful venues like New York's famous Radio City Music Hall and the Greek Theatre L.A.

Sadly this means that we wont be in the UK this summer as originally planned and won't be able to perform at some of our favourite places - Lounge On The Farm Music Festival, Latitude Festival, Green Man Festival & Beautiful Days Festival. We are SO SORRY to all our friends and fans who we won't be seeing this summer. We will make it up to all of you and will be announcing a series of shows in the UK very soon.
