Yule (the band) was formed in early 2008 to support the release of Yule's debut CD - Aaaarrrggh!!!. Bringing to life and adding Nitrous Oxide to the already high powered and innovative music Yule created as a solo artist, the band experience is unlike anything else on the shores of the New Zealand Isles.

Before forming the band Yule was well known in Dunedin, New Zealand for both his solo act and his previous band "Yule & The Thundercats". He had a number of student radio hits as well as featuring on Loop Recordings New Zealand Fashion Week CD Sampler 2006.

In 2008 as production came to a close on Aaaarrrggh!!! Alex Urlich and Jonathan Goss were wrangled to bring the songs to life in a band that would supercharge the compositions for live consumption. Both were former members of fabled Auckland funk band "One Million Dollars" though were never members of that band at the same time, and had never met before taking on the Yule project.

Bjorn was contracted for all the auxiliary sounds required to fully realize some of the more eclectic ideas contained in Yule's creations. The cherry on the top if you will.

As a band Yule deliver their aural submissions in a high energy form, and have been doing so on an ever increasing scale.

In late 2008 Alex left the band and was replaced by Nic “Rolly” Roland on bass. Bringing his years of experience of touring the country with his former band “The Taliband” Rolly completed the bands transition from project band to a full collaborative unit.

2009 has seen Yule perform live on National Television and to a Festival attracting 200,000 people (Pasifika). They will also be making their first tour of the country and setting their sites offshore.
