Founders of Progressive Rock, YES, added to Summer Line-up at Casino Rama
(RAMA, ON) May 17th, 2012 - Casino Rama is pleased to
announce the addition of progressive rock band YES to our previously released July 2012 concert line-up for one-night of amazing live classic rock on
Tuesday, July 10th at 8 pm.
Over
the course of a remarkable 40-year career that has time and again
redefined the boundaries of rock, YES have become renowned for
their live performances since being formed in 1968 by Chris Squire and
Jon Anderson from a mutual interest in vocal harmonies and classical
song structure. With drummer Bill Bruford, guitarist Peter Banks and
keyboardist Tony Kaye, they metamorphosed into
YES, earning a residency at the famed London venue The Marquee Club,
where they played with the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd,
releasing their self-titled debut album in July 1969.
Guitarist
Steve Howe, who went on to play in the popular prog-rock groups Asia
and GTR and continues releasing acclaimed solo albums and touring,
brought an experimental
cutting edge to YES for their 1970’s “The Yes” album, their first album
to top the UK charts. Drummer Alan White, who had been hand-picked to
play on John Lennon’s Imagine and George Harrison’s All Things Must
Pass, came aboard in 1972. YES then went on
to conquer America and played at some of the largest paid attendance
concerts of all time, including JFK Stadium in Philadelphia in 1976 to a
crowd of over 130,000 people.
As a
dominant force for more than four decades, YES has sold more than 30
million albums worldwide, stretching the boundaries of progressive
art-rock with their dynamic instrumental
contrasts and abstract lyrics. Their symphonic use of sound and
innovative musical styles continues to make them one of the most
successful and long-standing group in rock history and their amazing
career continues to defy many of their contemporaries, as
they continue to add new, young fans to their following.
