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

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

See backs turned we weren't joking...

Hey all we have turned our backs a little on the website as of late mainly due to a bunch of gigs. So here’s a quick update of what we have been up to.

Videos

About a week ago we very unceremoniously unveiled a Videos section for the site it’s still in its infancy at the moment but, we should be having more content up there in the coming weeks but for now you will have to make do with a little Studio Session gem stone. Things get a little crazy at 3 in morning and you still have 10 tracks to record lead guitar for. “Nah he can’t hear us! …. DAN”.

Coming to a field near you…

We have been confirmed to play Eastliegh music festival Saturday 12th July 2009. We will be playing the same day as British Sea Power, King Creosote, Dlugokecki and Broken Links. It’s FREE to see Yellowgroove and we are on in the Early afternoon but for the main acts tickets are available direct from the Eastliegh Music Festival site.

See you Soon,

Yellowgroove
