YellowFever Announce NZ Shows

Wow what an awesome surprise this is...Austin duo YellowFever have been announced for two shows in May. We caught these guys in NY last year and really loved them - uniquely positioned along with the likes of Young Marble Giants and Stereo Lab with their undeniable Texan slant - we will surely not be missing them live here and highly recommend you check them out also...

Wednesday 11 May, Wine Cellar - Auckland
Friday 13 May, Happy - Wellington

Videos for them are pretty hard to find on account of their name but here is a goodin from a few years back. They are performing "Culver City" from their self-titled debut at Death By Audio in Brooklyn.

Press Release:

YellowFever - Infecting NEW ZEALAND

YELLOWFEVER, the captivating minimalist art-pop duo are poised and ready to pounce as they prepare for their inaugural visit to Australia and New Zealand throughout April and May.

Following on from a string of US dates the pair will be invading Australia like an infectious disease. Hailing from Austin Texas, the band has released a stringof EPs and singles, which in 2009 were compiled onto theirself-titled album. Their first official albumis in the works andwill be on a record store shelf near you later in 2011.

Applying drums, guitar, organ and synth bass to their jerky rhythms and willowy arrangements YellowFever is Jennifer Mooreand Adam Jones, a highly talented kooky pair who manage to perfectly balance the complex with the refreshingly sparse

Jennifer's arresting vocals add a restrained sophistication to the garage-y undertow; think Stereolab covering early Go-Betweens, or Young Marble Giants, if they had existed in Dunedin in the early eighties…

Catch the ultimate YellowFever at these venues in late autumn....
