From my understanding, the new Asia band released six albums and in 2006 the band branched into TWO bands: Asia and Asia Featuring John Payne. …

ASIA

Who could forget that amazing cover artwork for all ASIA albums? Their latest album XXX still features artwork by Roger Dean, as will probably their upcoming Valkyrie studio album.
Originally a "supergroup", the line-up obviously changed over the 30+ years as a band, currently you can catch the band with their mostly original line-up: John Wetton, Geoff Downes, Carl Palmer, and Sam Coulson (the youngster who is replacing original guistarist Steve Howe).

Can you believe it? As soon as Yeah Yeah Yeahs announced their live show at First Avenue in Minneapolis, it completely sells out within minutes. Hopefully, if it all works out, we're covering the show this late . …

MAXIMUM HEDRUM
maximumhedrum.com
Have a ticket to see the sold-out Yeah Yeah Yeahs show this Monday at First Avenue in Minneapolis? I suggest showing up early to get a good spot, and while you're there early, you'll be treated to Maximum Hedrum (a nod to Max Headroom?)
This electronic/funk band features Sam Spiegel, Derrick Green (from Brazil's metal band Sepultura) and German producer Harold Faltermeyer.
Check out their song R&B influenced "Robosexual" (featuring funkmaster George Clinton on additional vocals and guest percussion from YYY's Nick Zinner):

I've never seen Quintron and Miss Pussycat before, but I was told to expect two things: puppetries and dancing. And you know what? All true. …

QUINTRON & MISS PUSSYCAT
quintronandmisspussycat.com
I saw Quintron & Miss Pussycat in 2010, and it was one of the most entertaining live shows I've ever attended, mostly thanks to the puppet show. Speaking of which, Miss Pussycat will be making 100 new puppets this summer at the New Orleans Contemporary Arts Center.
If you didn't know, Quintron (real name Robert Rolston) is an organist who plays a custom Hammond organ/Fender Rhodes synthesizer combo (which looks like the front of a car). Sometime when he goes on tour, he brings his wife Miss Pussycat, who sings backup, plays maracas, and create the puppet shows.
Anyway, Quintron & Miss Pussycat will be heading out on tour with Amsterdam's zZz to support. I looked up the band, apparently zZz is a duo (Björn Ottenheim and Daan Schinkel) and they make "dark, danceable rock".
Dates with * indicates with zZz, # with Cave, and % with The Good Show Live and Friends Of Friends Present.
