The naming of the parts

Us guitar players like to give our favourite planks names. I decided a few weeks ago to call my vintage Tokai Strat 'Il Pirata' or 'The Pirate' as inspired by some of the antics of The Blue Yellows & friends, partly the colour and partly because of this guy, one of my heroes, albeit a troubled anti hero. Marco RIP.

This should be pretty exciting - and it's our 3rd Birthday.

The Band at Boxjam, Coming soon.
Please see boxjam.co.uk for full details of this exciting festival in Crewe (opposite the railway station).

Dedication, that's what you need.


We recently asked, via the band's facebook site, for fans of the band to send in photos of themselves wearing Blue Yellows T shirts. Here's a couple to start with, we have some more to post on an album on facebook, but do feel free to send us any pics of yourself photographed perhaps with the EP, in one of our T shirts, poster or in some other way connected with the band. You can post them to the facebook site (facebook.com/blueyellows) or email them to blueyellows@live.co.uk Cheers, we really appreciate it! xxx

Been busy doing lots of nice gigs and festivals recently (see the FaceBook site for lots of photos). We've also been delighted with all the lovely feedback from you guys and these great reviews for the new Ep and live shows recently. Just click on the image to read the full review;
Here Comes The Flood EP review; "Lo-fi quirky folk rock from the UK...  Powerful voice... stand-out track is the jump blues rocker No Tobacco... take note of the good time music backing vocals". Click on pic to read full review.
 


Oliver Arditi EP review; "..guitars, big beats, open spaces, wide vistas and a pronounced but un-histrionic soulfulness.. commendably uninterested in fashion.. their songs are passionate, humorous, communal sounding expressions..Engaging" Click on the pic to read full review.


Radicals Rising EP review; "Rare vocal tone.. eerie guitar.. intense, delicate melodies" Click on pic to read the full review.

Stoke Sounds Live review; "These guys really do pack a punch... humour and acerbic lyrics". Click on pic to read the full review
