Yellowgroove

2011 A Yellow year in review

It’s drawing near the end of a quite turbulent year for many people and Yellowgroove have been no exception. In our haste to get some news to you before we went on a recording holiday we didn’t really give this post the attention it deserves.

Recent Gigs

Our gigs over the last two weekends at Smokin’ Aces have been friggin’ awesome. Yellowgroove’s mate Tim Heywood (http://www.hopefm.com/) who was at both gigs, has written his independent review of the events. We also did an interview and unplugged session with Tim last week, and recorded the whole session. We hope you tuned in and loved Simon’s awful jokes. We’ll be making the tracks available as part of the Live on Hope FM release some time soon. Last night’s Amnesty International gig was great, a fantastic mix of music and poetry for a really worthwhile cause, in the year of it’s 50th birthday.

A Yellow Christmas

Jon Gregory and Nic Fair, some close friends and fans of Yellowgroove, have been deviously doing good deeds concerning Yellowgroove. Secretly, the two have been conspiring to get Yellowgroove to the number one Xmas spot. Slightly ambitious we must admit, but if you want to know more please check it out at “The Best Xmas Present Ever“. Behind bands are great mates, and we sincerely thank these guys for their efforts, and apologise for our nosey behaviour that led us to finding out.

If you want to help out you can buy “San Francisco bay” from the 18th December in order to help out.

A Change of Rhythm

For those who have visited our recent gigs would have noticed the drummer is of similar height, a lot hairier and has an apish-like gait. His name is Chris Tyjberg, and he’s our new drummer. We’d like to extend many thanks to Jack, who was with us for 2 years, wishing him all the best on his future endeavours.

Merch

A few months ago we got some Yellowgroove t-shirts made. We’ce got 2 designs a Yellowgroove regal crest, and one with Austin Powers fully endorsing YG…

Finally, a big thanks goes out to Jason Petrou and his gran. Today we’re heading off (fully fuelled up on our recycled chip fat) to a lovely little cottage in the Peak District, up north. A week’s worth of rehearsal, songwriting and demo-recordings will ensue, so stay tuned for the results.

Peace out all, and remember, if you haven’t seen the vid, give it a look
