Obviously, most people know you as the drummer from Emerson, Lake and Palmer and later as the drummer for Asia. And you have played with the most incredible musicians in rock and roll history and then some. But let's talk about this new band - this Carl Palmer Band, the one that played here a few nights ago. It is an all-new band. So, how do you rate the musicians in this band and what can you tell me about them? I think you have to realize that the standard of the musicianship that's in the band at the moment is incredibly high. Obviously the music is well-known and it is part of the staple diet of America's radio in a way and a lot of people know what Emerson Lake and Palmer did in the past. So if you get great music and you've got great musicians playing it - it's everything you could ever ask for really. Obviously, it is always better to have great material to play and there is a wealth of material from Emerson, Lake and Palmer. So it is not all original class...

ASIA were formed in 1981 by: Steve HOWE (YES) John WETTON (KING CRIMSON, URIAH HEEP, UK ETC.) Geoff DOWNES (YES, BUGGLES, and Carl PALMER (ELP). They were of course immediately dubbed a "supergroup" (in the way as CREAM, EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER etc. were). Over the years the line up has gone through constant changes, with DOWNES being the only founding member still present (although even he has not been ever present). Greg LAKE passed though the ranks briefly in 1983 replacing WETTON, but his voice did not suite the material, and he left before recording any studio albums with the band. WETTON's return in 1984 resurrected previous conflicts with HOWE, who left to be replaced by Mandy METER (KROKUS). ASIA effectively ceased to exist between 1985 and 1987, when DOWNES and WETTON attempted to rekindle the flame. They recorded a few tracks together, but WETTON soon moved on again, and DOWNES started working with John PAYNE on alternative projects. In 1989, WETTON and PALMER g...

Forget what you think you know. Marillion are one of the UK music scene’s best kept secrets; purveyors of soulful, powerful, and often deeply-moving music, who’s blistering live shows leave their audiences breathless. When Fish, Marillion’s original lead singer, left the band in 1988 after four albums he was replaced by the charismatic Steve Hogarth. A former member of The Europeans and some-time collaborator with The The and Julian Cope, Hogarth brought a new heart and energy to the band. Predictions of doom were swiftly dispelled, as across a further NINE albums, Hogarth – along with existing members Steve Rothery (guitar), Mark Kelly (keyboards), Pete Trewavas (bass), and Ian Mosley (drums) – reinvigorated and constantly redefined Marillion’s sound. They forged into new musical territories with a succession of inventive, emotional albums, displaying little regard to the vagaries of The Musical Fashion Police, or the bandwagoneering of radio playlists. After the release of 1999’s ‘ma...
