They started to build an online following and were lauded for their covers of classic rock and pop songs and to date have generated over 30 million YouTube views. But it was their versions of YES songs that caught the attention of Anderson who enthused… “The first time I heard the BAND GEEKS I truly freaked out - they sound just like the classic YES of the seventies, the YES that I know and love…”.
As a result, in 2023 Jon Anderson and The Band Geeks took to the road for the first time. The natural chemistry between Anderson and the band was palpable giving fans the full YES experience that many may not have expected to see again! They have been touring together ever since and released ‘True’ in 2024 - an album of original material which they described as "a collection of songs that harkens back to Yes’s classic 70’s sounds as well as to their latter-day success with the album 90125". They have since released the live album ‘Live - Perpetual Change’ (2025).
