New Gear

I recently purchased a Marshall JVM 205C. It's an all tube 2x12 combo amplifier. It's loud! But it's beautiful! Scott, our keyboard player says it has balls. That's a great description. It allows channel switching via MIDI, so I have the GT-8 hooked up to change all the settings I need during a gig. It's awesome! Come on out and hear it the next time we play!!

YYT @ the MUN Relay for Life

Last night we had the honour of playing a set at the MUN Relay for Life where well over 80 teams participated and over $84,000 was raised in the fight against cancer.  It was awesome to see so many students take an active role in this battle, and we had an absolute blast playing a few tunes while the teams did their laps :)  Congrats to the organizers for a job extremely well done, and congrats to the participating teams for raising so much dough.

Our 2011 New Years Resolutions

YYT is a band in pursuit of one thing: awesomity. In order to acheive this lofty goal, we have compiled a list of resolutions that we will do our best to accomplish. For your reading pleasure, our resolutions:

10. Grow mullets.
9. Play all sad songs in the key of D minor (to make them even sadder).
8. Keep a drummer for more than 3 months.
7. Less Barry Manilow and more Barry White.
6. Reduce consumption of baked beans/cabbage/pease pudding prior to rehearsal. And by reduce I mean increase.
5. Dedicate an entire set to Canadian iconic band Teaze.
4. Increase hits to our website by publishing semi-nude pictures of Scott.
3. Punctuate the end of every song with syncronized ninja kicks.
2. Play on progressively smaller stages until we can rename the band Tetris.
1. Replace band members with monkeys dressed in civil war uniforms.

Happy New Years everyone!
