Instantly labelled a super-group at the time of its formation, a group of musicians hailing from the progressive rock bands; Yes, King Crimson, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and Uriah Heep formed Asia in 1981. Asia has garnered a near fanatical loyal following of fans that love the band’s blend of melodic AOR with progressive rock flourishes and virtuoso soloing. In 2011 they toured the United States and for 2012 Asia have already announced they will be headlining the 2012 edition of the Weyfest Festival, on Sunday, 2nd September. The Heat Goes On, and on and on, and on…
Since its release in March 1982, Asia's eponymous debut album has been considered a masterpiece of AOR (adultoriented-rock). Produced by Mike Stone in the grandiose classical Rock tradition and packaged complete with distinctive Roger Dean sleeve artwork, the album spent an impressive nine weeks at number 1 in the American Billboard charts, consequently selling nine million copies. The singles "Heat of the Moment" and "Only Time Will Tell", culled from the album, also reached the charts in the UK, Europe and the U.S. of A. On May 5, 2008, at the Grand Ballroom of the Regency Center in San Francisco, California, Asia revisited their iconic debut album, performing it live in its entirety, with the songs in the same running order as they formerly appeared on the original studio album.
