It’s a truth universally acknowledged, that a Yeti - bar Graham - caught in the process of a travelling tour, must be sick at least once. Since this is a 6-week tour, there’s enough time for some to be sick twice. So far Andrew has missed three shows and John has lost his voice twice. Mark, traditionally the weakest, has made it to every gig, though it’s worth noting that he was “sick” for 2 weeks prior to the tour, and he’s been routinely chickening out of singing those silly high harmonies in Merry Go Round. For non-artistic reasons of course.

Graham is strong as ever, but no doubt mentally still suffering from that ASDA incident. Where did that neon-yellow police van come from? Why did they only notice the Yeti when The Foxes were pissing just 15 yards away?

Giant thanks to all those who came to the shows, especially those in Scotland (and Carlisle). It truly is ten thousand times colder than London up there, and we understand why you’re all drunk before the opening band. We certainly wouldn’t leave the house to see Yeti in those conditions.

One thing though - why do the people of Scotland keep asking us if we like Idlewild? Should we (not)?

PS: Thank you Jonno Fox for filling in.

This is not a ploy to entice sympathy, it actually happened. See evidence below. They speak more than words. Victims include 1 SM58 clone, 2 SM57s, 1 Teisco dynamic, 1 Chinese Ribbon, 1 drum carpet, 1 Electro-Harmonix Mic Preamp, 2 MXR pedals, 1 Teisco Del Rey semi-acoustic, 13 setlists, 1 early 60’s Vox Amp, 1 70s Pearl Amp, 1 pig mask, 50 rare vinyls and various old 4 track rehearsal tapes.

There’s no insurance because it’s an “illegal” basement / cave.

Yelp!

Yes, we insisted on using the wind machine. Not.

We’d like to assure you that Yeti hasn’t become a shirt n’ tie band. Andrew was cruelly given the choice of a pimp jacket or a tie/wedding shirt combo (Graham gladly took the pimp jacket).

Note the tight dotty clown trousers on Hassall.

It’s all in Italian, but it’s still Yeti…

And we’re so glad that Michael Jackson is on the cover. Seriously.

Special thanks to Connie and Michel Comte (we applaud your taste in music and look forward to eventually filming our video in Paris).

PS: If you’re in Japan, we’ll be on Spaceshower TV on October 23 (we think) playing a Dolly Parton cover. We’ve never seen it but from what we remember it was amazing. Dolly would not have been proud.

What’s a Non-no? Anyway, according to our Japanese friends, Men’s Non-No is the #1 style mag in Japan for Men. And this month it features Yeti.

By “feature” we mean this:

Sayonara,
