After all it’s a Monday, it’s October and it’s raining… We’re not far enough into Autumnal Blues to forget the Summer, neither ready to buckle down, pull up our coats and accept that Winter is indeed coming…

It must be time to kick back and live just one more day in the Summer. Get onto iTunes, because today is the official release of San Francisco Bay, and Sunshine memories are needed more than ever!

Get San Francisco Bay on ,  at Play.com or Amazon MP3. If you like your music on Spotify you can listen there

Get an Ice-cream, sit by the oven while dinner’s cooking and try to forget that British Gas will probably raise the prices again.

Oh and just in case you haven’t seen it the official  video for San Francisco Bay.

However, as we were soon to learn, trying to look cool and nonchalant can somewhat distract you from your surroundings, and the perilous sea…

Don’t forget, our debut single comes out on Monday 24th October from all good online music shops. Also, for the grooviest party this October come down to see us at our release party on Saturday 22nd October at Champions in Bournemouth for the annual Oxjam Bournemouth Takeover! The Oxjam Bournemouth Takeover will feature 34 local artists performing at 6 venues over the whole day, with this year’s aim of raising in excess of £8,000. Advance tickets are just £5 and are available here up until midnight on 21 Oct. These will be exchanged on the Takeover day (at 60 Million Postcards from midday) for a wristband, which will allow you entry into all six venues. Wristbands can also be purchased on the day at any venue for £6.

We will be playing at Champions at around 10pm and doors open at 7pm.
For more info about the whole day, visit the Oxjam Bournemouth event page, or our event page.

If you still haven’t checked out our video for San Francisco Bay, have a gander, right now!!

An all action short film documenting Yellowgroove’s extreme lack of concentration. WARNING This feature contains Exploding Rocks, Actors Forgetting lines, Stones being kicked in a rock and roll manner, Simon’s AHHH Face and the big man himself… Jon Gregory. No music video would be complete without all of the above, see for yourselves the fun we had…

In the week leading up to the release party and Oxjam, Ben and Simon will be roaming the streets of Bournemouth with their newly formed G-Team (like the A-Team but more groovey) spreading the sounds of YG and collecting money for Oxfam along the way. Keep an eye out for them!

We have had our first pre-release review of the single from George at Rock-Regeneration and it’s a good one!

“If you’re looking for a song to kick back, relax and reminisce of the gorgeous summer times, then blast this tune out this winter and you may not even feel the summer has passed you by. “

Click here to read the review in full.

The release date for the track is Monday 24th October, just a few weeks from now (and the anniversary of when we started recording). Over the next three weeks we’re going to be sharing a series of videos with you delving deep into the workings of Yellowgroove, in the studio behind the scenes and a making of the video errr video. What more could you want?!

We’ll start off with a short clip of Ben and Simon enjoying a lovely English, summer day where they’re attempting to re-enact a famous scene from the history of rock’n roll……

With our forthcoming single, San Francisco Bay, we’ve tried to capture that with our first ever official music video.

There were days when cloud interrupted our filming, changing clothes on the beach was actually a cold experience (I haven’t worn shorts yet this year!) and of course the moment I got hit by an unexpected wave before we’d started filming.

In truth, we absolutely couldn’t have done it without the help of some really great people. Thanks to Osama and Ahmed, for running around and keeping our spirits up, thanks to Bihter for telling Ben what to do most of the time, thanks to Gamze for the lunchtime salads, thanks to Jon and Liam for stepping in at the last minute when we needed more footage, thanks to Lucy for driving, and thanks to Cigdem for being the star.

Click here to get San Francisco Bay for FREE but hurry as this is for a limited time only!

We hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed making it (most of the time). Watch it, like it, spread it far and wide! And enjoy the rest of the summer! Carpe Diem!

Our review in listed

What’s that noise? It’s not the sound of the asteroid of ROCK crashing to the ground is it?

No it’s not, sorry I’ve been watching that Wonders of the Solar System again on iPlayer. Am I infringing somebody’s copyright or something again here? *Beeeen!” Anyway, it’s another awesome review for us! Hooray! We got Tim’s Choice in this month’s Listed magazine, so we thought we’d ram it down your throats  or rather share it with you here on our website. Generous to a fault ma’am.

Love,

The Rings of Saturn (Ooh that’s quite a cool prog-rock side project name, anyone?)

In all seriousness,

Yellowgroove
