The Isle of Wight was indeed triple awesome. We played out of our skins friday night, had a great response from a great crowd, we also did a bunch of interviews over the weekend. More news to follow about that and everything else…

I got home really late last night, fell asleep on the last ferry and almost got stuck on it all night (with the van and all the equipment!)

To see a replay of friday night, don’t forget to come down to the surface unsigned on wednesday night.

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.

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!

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
