gps is a progressive rock group formed in 2006 by john payne -lrb- vocals , bass , guitar -rrb- , guthrie govan -lrb- guitars -rrb- and jay schellen -lrb- drums , percussion -rrb- .
these three had been working together in asia , specifically on an album to have been called `` architect of time '' , when the fourth member of asia , geoff downes , joined a reunion of the band 's classic line-up , dissolving the then current line-up .
payne , govan and schellen announced the formation of a new band in february 2006 to be called one .
however , after discovering another rock act with the same name , the band changed its name to gps , from the initials of the three founders .
