YETI

"These boys throw a little skiffle and shuffle into the pot, dressing very tight, yet sweet, pop nuggets with a sixties sheen"
*Sixeyes


yetiYeti are five lads from London, UK, and they do have a Brit sound, but not what you'd expect. This is not the Arctic Monkeys, or Franz Ferdinand, or Bloc Party. These boys throw a little skiffle and shuffle into the pot, dressing very tight, yet sweet, pop nuggets with a sixties sheen. What suprises more than the stellar singing and playing is the economy of the music... nothing is overdone... which is suprising for a young unsigned band. As far as I know they have released two singles on Moshi Moshi Records, but the band will release an EP titled, One Eye On The Banquet, on October 30th. Band members are, John Hassall-vocals/guitar (formerly of The Libertines), Harmony Williams-vocals/guitar, Brendan Kersey-bass, Graham Blacow-drums, and Andrew Déian-lead guitar/backing vocals.

    Yeti are AMAZING and the most underrated band around... John Hassall is the king of 3 part harmonies and plays a mean bass.
