White Wing formed in the late 60s and had regional success before morphing into the band Asia in the mid 70s. Asia had completed a second album and seemed poised for bigger things when it all fell apart, partially because of legal problems arising from the use of their band name, which was clashing with another band called Asia across the pond. But that's another story.
Before there was Asia there was White Wing. This is one of those midwest regional bands like Surprise or even early Curulewski-era Styx, who blended together influences of British progressive rock with plenty of good ole American hard rock.
White Wing s'est form茅 脿 la fin des ann茅es 60 et a connu un succ猫s r茅gional avant de se transformer en Asia au milieu des ann茅es 70. Asia avait achev茅 un deuxi猫me album et semblait pr锚t pour de plus grandes choses quand tout s'est effondr茅, en partie 脿 cause de probl猫mes juridiques d茅coulant de l'utilisation de leur nom de groupe, qui se heurtait 脿 un autre groupe appel茅 Asia. Mais c'est une autre histoire.
Avant Asia, il y avait White Wing et c'est l'un de ces groupes r茅gionaux du Midwest, comme Surprise ou encore Styx de l'茅poque de Curulewski, qui a m茅lang茅 les influences du rock progressif britannique avec un bon vieux rock am茅ricain.
