Beardfish is a Swedish progressive rock band formed in 2001. Their style resembles progressive rock bands from the 1970s, such as Yes and Genesis. The band currently consists of founding members vocalist/keyboardist Rikard Sjöblom and guitarist David Zackrisson, along with longtime drummer Magnus Östgren and bassist Robert Hansen; who joined the band in 2001 and 2002 respectively. ==History== The initial lineup of Beardfish consisted of frontman Rikard Sjöblom, guitarist David Zackrisson, bassist Gabriel Olsson, and drummer Petter Diamant. Before the end of 2001, Diamant had been replaced by Magnus Östgren, and early in 2002 the band's lineup was augmented by keyboardist Stefan Aronsson. Later that year, Olsson was replaced by Robert Hansen, and it was this lineup that recorded the band's debut album, ''Från En Plats Du Ej Kan Se'', in 2003. Following the release of the album, Aronsson left the band, leaving Beardfish with the four-man lineup which continues to this day.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography )〕 Following the release of the band's second album, ''The Sane Day'', in 2006, the band were signed by InsideOut Music. They have remained on this label ever since, releasing six more albums to date, the latest of which is 2015's ''+4626-COMFORTZONE''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Void )〕 In 2008, Beardfish toured with fellow progressive rock band The Tangent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2008 Tour diary w RITUAL and THE TANGENT — BEARDFISHBAND.COM )〕 The following year they were scheduled to tour North America during the summer as part of ''Progressive Nation'', a tour organized by Dream Theater's then-drummer Mike Portnoy; however, they were forced to withdraw from this event after InsideOut lost funding because its distributor, SPV, declared bankruptcy. In September 2012, Beardfish were the opening act for all European dates of the band Flying Colors, and in May 2013, were one of the opening acts (along with Sound of Contact) for all European dates of the band Spock's Beard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Be sure to check our tour diary as we travel throughout Europe with Flying Colors )〕 The band followed this up by touring with Sound of Contact in support of Spock's Beard during 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=InsideOut Music 20th Anniversary Presents Spock’s Beard on tour with support from Beardfish and Sound of Contact )〕 In 2014 the band commenced work on their eighth studio album,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BEARDFISH Talk About Their Upcoming Record, B-Sides Compilation And Being Stereotypically Progressive )〕 with Sjöblom also joining the band Big Big Train in the capacity of touring guitarist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Big Big Train Recruit Beardfish’s Sjoblom )〕 In October it was announced that Sjöblom would remain with Big Big Train in an official capacity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Log into Facebook - Facebook )〕 The following month Beardfish announced the completion of their eighth studio album, entitled *''+4626-COMFORTZONE'', scheduled for release in January 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Beardfish announce release of new album ‘+4626-COMFORTZONE’ )〕 For the tour dates commencing in early 2015 the band extended their touring line-up with the addition of keyboardist Martin Borgh.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interview: Rikard Sjöblom from Beardfish )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beardfish (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
