Remember when
mobile phones came with a carrying harness and shoulder pads had a health
warning? Well back in the 80s there were also a group of post punkers called
Yeah Yeah Noh, and tonight we have them live in session!
Derek Hammond
(vocals), John Grayland (guitar), Tom Slater (guitar), Dermot O'Sullivan, Eva
Landsberg (keys) and Anthony Cook (drums) came from Leicester at the start of
the 1980s. Their first release back in 1984 was the satirical and humorous
jangly pop/post punk affair Cottage Industry (In-Tape records), after this they
released two further EPs and developed a more psychedelic style for their last
offering Cutting The Heavenly Lawn Of Greatness.Last Rites For The God Of Love
in 1985.
Before they
split in 1986 they had done three sessions and become firm favourites of John
Peel, as well as gaining a cult fan base that we are sure are happy they are
back.
When asked
why they had decided to come back John Grayland said "Because the world
needs Yeah Yeah Noh. Because too much contemporary music is about gameshows and
nostalgia rather than ideas and attitude and fun and carpet-melting grooves.
Now listen to this". We can't add to that.Yeah Yeah Noh in session!
