Yuck, a band of no fixed hairstyle from London, undoubtedly pulled off the best debut album of 2011; no mean feat for a bunch of kids who weren’t even 20. Although the band wear their hearts on their sleeve, Dinosaur Jr, Teenage Fanclub and Pixies (Yuck have supported all three!) and Sonic Youth are all there, what makes them stand out is their ability to wrap up all these influences into the freshest sounding pop/grunge/scuzz.
In true DIY style they self-produced and recorded their debut album at home, which was released in on Fat Possum Records to massive critical acclaim (Pitchfork 8.1, NME 8). The huge buzz and excitment caused by their debut album catapaulted Yuck to the international stage. They toured extensively including sold out headline shows at New York's Music Hall of Williamsburg and London's Electric Ballroom and festival spots at Glastonbury, Reading Leeds, Bestival and Primavera Sound. With a line up change which saw Max Bloom stepping up to lead vocals they recorded their second album 'Glow and Behold’ which saw them grow into a more crafted ethereal dream pop. With their 3rd album ‘Stranger Things’ Yuck return to their roots and do what they like no other -riff tastic guitar melodies that will get you hooked!
With support from upcoming local kids, 'Subsonic Eye' live visuals from Mike Mystery and DJ set from Jane Blondel this is going to be a sonic and visual blast!
