In a new TV commercial for Chili’s, a group of former roommates are arguing whether or not the band Asia was the greatest supergroup of the ’80s.

You can judge for yourself when the original lineup of Asia performs Nov. 2 at the Arcada Theatre, 105 E. Main St., St. Charles. The show starts at 8 p.m., and tickets start at $39, available at www.oshows.com.

Kane County Chronicle reporter Eric Schelkopf had the chance to talk to Asia drummer Carl Palmer, also a founding member of the band Emerson, Lake and Palmer, about the band’s latest activities.
