They return in March with their third<br>album, Welcome To My DNA, following a gap of four<br>years caused by both artists recent hectic schedules.<br>Porcupine Tree s 2009 release, The Incident, is the band s best selling album to date, and<br>the band has continued to raise its profile around the world, recently playing sold out gigs at<br>London s Royal Albert Hall and New York s Radio City Music Hall. However, Porcupine Tree<br>is just one of Steven s several musical projects, which also include Blackfield, No-Man, and<br>Bass Communion. Steven is also a Grammy nominated producer and mixer working with the<br>likes of Opeth, King Crimson, and Yoko Ono.

Aviv has worked with various artists, including<br>Brett Anderson (Suede), Mercury Rev and Belle and Sebastian,<br>throughout his career but it has been his partnership with Steven<br>that has proved the most fertile, and both artists have been keen to<br>return to their work with Blackfield.
