Bio A day of piercing sunlight and screaming gulls on the Jurassic Coast, a vintage Les Paul with only 4 strings and a rock full of fossils were where Yellowgroove was born. Summer 2008 was a good one… Cutting their teeth in the time-honoured fashion of sweat, roaring amps and claustrophobic music venues, Yellowgroove grew from the ground up. The band’s efforts began to flourish as they journeyed from gig to gig across the south coast, their folky blues-rock grooves licking the ladle of Led Zeppelin, Cream and the Black Keys. “Rampaging through pop-length tunes with a style and panache that sets them apart from many of the rest of the live acts around”. Listed Magazine – Tim Heywood The ‘groove’s down-to-earth approach went hand in hand with an eco-ethos, which was proudly paraded when the band were revealed on a wider stage at the Isle of Wight Festival 2010, arriving in particular style on a rickety sailboat. Their veggie-fat-powered van, with an A-team style yellow groove painted around its chassis, beat a stomping path behind them on the ferry. London based producers The Animal Farm soon cottoned on to the band’s unique howl, and invited Yellowgroove to their studio. After a roller-coaster week of burning midnight oil, the band discovered a softer, warmer feel. The result is a soon-to-be released, stunning single entitled “San Francisco Bay”, that introduces a brand of folk edged riff rock echoing the vibes of late 60s Laurel Canyon. As a band that “don’t like to sit still”, their live performances travel through a multitude of genres with stories to tell, a vitality to spread, and songs to sing…… “A penetrative, retro, and surprisingly hypnotic sound” Bournemouth Echo’s – Sarah Cartlidge “A rock force to be reckoned with” Live Music Scene – Jodie Humphries www.yellowgroove.co.uk
