   About Rebel Yellow
6/5/07***Rebel Yellow hits the CMJ ADDs chart at 14.******* 4/23/07***Rebel Yellow's EP The Sun Defeats the Snow is now out. Should be available at your local record store. You can also download most of the tracks from this site.******** Band Bio*** Expansive pop tunes that could burst the clouds and break your heart. Rebel Yellow is a band from Minneapolis with a deep and developed sound. At its heart are Brad Weller and Tracy T. Weller, two expats lured to the city by punk rock; he, from northern Pennsylvania, and she, from the outskirts of Duluth. Brad played in Brown Star and later formed Hickey Party. Tracy joined Hickey Party and the two became inseparable. After Hickey Party, Tracy played and sang in the Psychedelicates, while Brad wrote songs and played guitar in the basement, among other diversions. The Psychedelicates were a electro pop quintet that appeared on Radio K’s Stuck on AM compilation, Chilly Northern Women/Spinout Records, and were guests on many local radio and tv stations. They disbanded when their bass player moved to NYC. Rebel Yellow formed in 2003 and Brad’s smart strighforward songs are out for everyone to hear. The thrill is the same as uncovering your soon-to-be-favorite new local band in the 45-bin during a rainy Saturday afternoon spent among the racks at the late, great Northern Lights on the corner of 7th and Hennepin Avenue, a spot where Brad once schlepped records. Rebel Yellow just completed their EP The Sun Defeats the Snow and are already working on their full-lenth record. The songs on the EP were recorded at various studios around Minneapolis; Ed Ackerson’s Flowers Studio, Sean Hoffman’s Studio in N.E., on their 8-Track recorder in their basement studio and at Squirrels on the Moon. They brought all of the recorded tracks to their friends at Squirrels on the Moon where the producers Chris and Jeff created the bed of beats for all tracks except Chance with You. Squirrels on the Moon produced the record with Rebel Yellow and will be producing their full-length record this fall as well.
