Over the last couple of weeks there has been a flurry of Asia-related announcements, including an added US date to their tour - Grand Ballroom, Regency Center, San Francisco, California on May 5, 2008. Firstly, the title of the new album is Phoenix - a choice that seems obvious given... well, it's so obvious that I don't need to explain why. The album is due out from Italy's Frontiers Records in April.

The band's upcoming European tour commences in May and takes the band to Slovakia and the Canary Islands, as well as less "exotic" locales - France, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands and Hungary. We've added the dates to our concert listings.



Beginning on January 15 (yes, that's last Tuesday) through February 15, 2008, Asia will be appearing on the music televsion network Concert.TV, a free-to-view on-demand television network that programs live performances, compelling documentaries and unique originals for subscribers of Comcast, Cox, Insight, Charter, DirecTV Channel 1340 and many other digital cable services.

John Wetton placed 8th in the Best Bassist category, Geoff Downes finished 7th in the Best Keyboardist category and the band itself placed 6th in the Best Live Performance category in Japan's Player Magazine's 2007 Reader's Poll.
