With their long-awaited 'difficult 2nd album' due in March 2019, The Blue Yellows are a critically acclaimed band of alt-rock mavericks who have mined the music of the spheres finding something sounding like a jam between The Blues, World Music, U.S. Folk and Grunge. Compared to artists as diverse at The Dandy Warhols, Neil Young's Crazy Horse, The The, The Cardigans and Low and more.

Interestin' facts;
Jonathan lives on a boat, was a zoo-keeper at one time & also met the Dalai Lama unexpectedly.
Emma ran away to join the circus for a few years (no, really).
Simon's house is like a lab, he is working on perpetual motion & alchemy among other things. Dave is officially described as a 'Ranger, author, druid & Rock God'. Hayley ran a butterfly hospital as a child, and brought many of the critters "back to life".   L-R Em, Simon, Jonathan, Dave.  |  |
