AISLES and YUVAL RON TRIO

Event information

AISLES, the acclaimed Chilean progressive rock band, are returning to the UK for the first time in nine years and are playing an intimate warm-up show in London before their appearance at the major HRH PROG festival in Great Yarmouth.
Formed in 2005 and having released five highly acclaimed studio albums, they have created an unparalleled musical approach that combines intricate melodies and sonic openness. They have toured the Americas, Europe, and have performed with prog legends Marillion, Focus, and Riverside.
Their 2005 debut album “The Yearning” was praised for its elegant and delicate melodic work. 2013 saw perhaps their best-known album “4:45 AM” which was ranked among the best albums of that year in numerous publications. Their fourth studio album, “Hawaii” (2016), a concept album that narrates the life of humanity in space after the destruction of the Earth, was called a “masterpiece” and its success allowed them to tour Europe, the United States and Mexico.
Their fifth album, "Beyond Drama," was released on April 5, 2023, after the departure of three members and the reconfiguration of the group., and their sixth album is due for release later in 2025, introducing the new singer Boris Seeder.

YUVAL RON is a guitarist who performs original tunes which transcend the boundaries of any specific musical genre. Inspired by a crossover of modern Jazz-Rock icons and a host of many other contemporary artists from the Progressive Rock, Fusion, Metal and modern music genres, it is all well blended into an own fresh and distinct musical direction, best described as Cinematic Prog or Fusion.
The music features virtuosic performances of various compelling and colourful compositions, produced on top of a cinematic, orchestral, some say Sci-Fi film-like backgrounds, atmospheric soundscapes and various implanted sound effects drawing the listener into a total, electrifying experience.
The compositions place a constant emphasis on harmonic richness, rhythmical sophistication while maintaining a fine balance between intricately detailed group arrangements and the players’ individual expression.

The evening will start with a short solo set from DIKAJEE, a Russian-born singer/songwriter who has shown her voice on stages across the globe with some well-famed names.
In 2021 DIkajee released the album "Forget~Me~Nots" to showcase the weavings of folk, neo-baroque, neoclassical, and progressive rock, which received a bunch of positive reviews from music magazines around Europe, UK, and USA; she became #4 Vocalist Of The Year at Prog Readers Poll, and the single "Lily Of The Valley" was released on "The Best Of Metal Hammer 2021" official CD.
After moving to the UK in 2023 and a successful Kickstarter campaign, Dikajee will release a new album "The Frame" this year, which features contributions from guest artists Jonathan Noyce (Archive, Jethro Tull); Varijashree Venugopal (Snarky Puppy), and German Vergara (Aisles) among others.
