Ummm, this is pretty wild, but I just found that hip Brooklyn blog-rag, Brooklyn Vegan, is reporting (in multiple posts) about unhip iconic progressive rock band, Yes, in a non-ironic or negative way! The posts are regarding Yes’ 40th Anniversary tour starting this June. Of course half of the comments are negative and as simple and creative in their negativity as ‘NO!’

Check out the Yes posts here and here.

And in a related story, you absolutely need to hear this new band that’s rockin’ with a progressive bent. They’re Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears and their new Flight of the Knife album is amazing! Here’s a vid for you…

And as a bonus, heres a song from that Flight of the Knife album called “Imitation of the Sky” which will disappear very soon (so listen now…and then support the band and your own good listening habits by picking up the album at Amazon!) Don’t be turned off by the fact that Perez Hilton endorses this band!
