There's very little talk about them here, but I found this article about them so I thought I'd post it.

 

This Yeti is certainly not just a myth

By Darren Scott: The Scotsman

 

THERE can't be many gigs where yeti greet you at the door to take your ticket.

 

Similarly, having them pose for photos alongside excited fans in skinny jeans and converse trainers is another oddity, particularly when the yeti in question has yet to even take to the stage and discover that when the organisers set a curfew, they really do mean it.

 

Of course, this obviously isn't the actual mythical and hairy creature that lives in the snow, this particular breed of Yeti – a four-piece band from North London – has more in common with the phoenix, proving to the crowd at Cabaret Voltaire last night that they've well and truly put the past behind them.

 

The chances are that you'll likely have seen as much of this particular Yeti as the creature the band takes their name from, despite their associations with some of the biggest bands in recent years.

 

Lead vocalist and bassist John Hassall was an original Libertines member and Yeti have supported Foo Fighters, Razorlight and Oasis in recent years.

 

However, following a 'legally-enforced hiatus', they've embarked on a 28-day solo tour ahead of the release of their debut album, The Legend of Yeti Gonzales, and certainly seem to be enjoying themselves.

 

This particular show saw the inclusion of a Yeti Q&A box, allowing members of the audience to put some bizarre questions to the band. "What's your favourite kind of cheese?" Hassall asked, to which lead vocalist Mark Underwood replied: "Edinburgh cheese. Cheese Voltaire."

 

Another question asked of the band was "why do you all have such great hair?" Guitarist Andrew Deian joked that they washed each other's hair, before Underwood added that they liked to eat Edinburgh rock while washing each other's hair.

 

Still, they may have needed a wash after the gig – you know you're performing in Edinburgh when a cave drips on your head, much to Underwood's obvious surprise (and perhaps fear that more was to follow).

 

All this hilarity may have made the gig somewhat shorter than expected, a shame considering that the harmonies were surprisingly brilliant and the music reminiscent of the 60s.

 

Certainly extremely melodic, and perhaps with even a twang of country Yeti have already had their sound compared to 'early' Beatles, The Kinks and The Coral, and it's not hard to see why.

 

This was a gig that was really only marred by being cruelly cut short due to the afore-mentioned venue curfew, one that the band didn't really seem to believe until the lights came on – to much booing from the crowd – eight songs into their playlist.

 

If this was any indication it's a safe bet that Yeti sightings will be extremely common this year.
