Yellowgroove

Our thanks go out to all those who came down the Joiners on Saturday night for a great night of music. The free tasters of the Somerset Session EP were snapped up so eagerly that we completely ran out. However, you can now hear three new tracks from the EP in the music section or on our myspace page.

The Somerset Session EP will be available to download before the end of August, so keep checking back for more updates. The track-listing is confirmed.

1. Shoot You Down
2. These Times
3. Fading Out
4. Blood On The Flag

We are very sorry to say we are taking a few weeks off for the less good type of R’N'R. In our down time we will be working on even more new material that we all hope we can debut very soon and maybe release in another new EP. There are new dates for September and October in the gigs section including another show at the Hobbit.

We now have our very own online shop to sell our tracks on.

Head on over there and pick up a copy of the Son of a Working Man single in whatever format you prefer.

As an incentive to tempt you lovely folk down to the depths of St. Marys this weekend, we will be giving away a free taster CD of our forthcoming EP entitled the “Somerset Sessions”. The EP will also feature two brand new songs and will be available in full very soon!
In the mean time, come down to the Joiners this Saturday for some great music. We’ll see you there…..

Yellowgroove @ The Goldhawk

Well, the very Yellow weekend went amazingly well. It was even extended by a day thanks to a last minute bit of organisation (and fortune), putting Yellowgroove on the bill at a small venue in Shepherd’s Bush called the Goldhawk. This was YG’s first London outing and it was such a success that the promoter has offered a further two dates in the city. More pics from this night

Friday night was another corker! It was YG’s second date at the Hobbit, a great little venue in the heart of Southampton’s studentville. In comparison to their previous performance in the cosy place, the band were all healthy and flu free! The guys played an hour long set to room that was so packed that many people were left standing in the corridor trying to fight their way in. Look out for Yellowgroove appearing at the Hobbit again very soon! Many thanks go out to Jason Petrou who took some great pictures of the night.

Eastleigh Music Festival

On Saturday afternoon Yellowgroove played the mainstage of the Eastleigh music festival to headline the free section of the festival day. The typically British July afternoon (rainy and grey) seemed to slightly deter the crowds from this great event however, the stage was fortunately sited under a large big-top. The crowd were soon aroused by the set. Emma Richards took this stunning set of photos.

Guestlingbury music festival was next on the schedule however, this small, family run event had unfortunately been over-run by festival goers. They estimated that over 2,000 people had turned up on the Friday night and when compared to the couple of hundred the previous year, the event couldn’t cope and was understandably cancelled.

Overall, a fantastic weekend was had by all and many thanks go out to all of those who came to support or were involved in the organisation and logistics. More Yellow events will be on their way soon!

Yellowgroove have an action packed and fun filled July weekend in store for you all.

Friday 10th July sees the band take over the Hobbit supported by FROCK, a rocking band from Bournemouth. Both bands will play an hour set with FROCK on at just before 10.30pm and Yellowgroove at around 12.00am. Entry is free before 10pm and after is £2.

On Saturday 11th, Yellowgroove are playing two music festivals. The first is in Eastleigh town centre for the Eastleigh Music Festival. Yellowgroove are headlining the free section of the festival day and will be playing a 30 minute set on the main stage at 4pm. The guys will then head across the country to a small village called Guestling, the other side of Hastings, where they will be playing at the Guestlingbury Music Festival around 10pm.

There will be most likely be spaces for any of you that want to follow along.
It’s certainly set to be a mad one! Hope to see you there
