MIKE PORTNOY's THE BEATLES Cover Band Announces First Shows In Eight Years

January 10, 2011

After having had such a fun experience the first time around in 2003, drummer Mike Portnoy (ex-DREAM THEATER),guitarist Paul Gilbert (RACER X, MR. BIG) and guitarist/keyboardist Neal Morse (ex-SPOCK'S BEARD) will reunite as YELLOW MATTER CUSTARD once again to pay tribute to their greatest influence of all: THE BEATLES!

Due to a scheduling conflict (and further fueling the "Paul is dead" rumours),original YELLOW MATTER CUSTARD bassist Matt Bissonette is unable to join the band this time and will be replaced by UTOPIA legend Kasim Sulton.

The setlist for these dates will be all new without any repeats from the 2003 shows.

Feb. 25 - Long Beach, CA - Art Theater of Long Beach
Feb. 27 - Chicago, IL - [to be announced]
Feb. 28 - New York City - B.B. King Blues Club & Grill

YELLOW MATTER CUSTARD in 2005 issued a live DVD entitled "One Night in New York City". Recorded live at New York's B.B. King Blues Club & Grill on May 18, 2003, the set sees YELLOW MATTER CUSTARD performing some well-known BEATLES songs such as "Nowhere Man" and "Revolution", as well as more obscure tunes like "I Call Your Name", "Think For Yourself" and even a hilarious rendition of the "Let it Be" b-side "You Know My Name".
