Rob Pearson

The living definition of a real character: self-styled, Bradford born Rob Pearson is as boisterous, loud and unashamedly Northern as lead singers get

In his long and varied career he’s written everything from 'meat and two veg' Rock 'n' Roll, to deep, melodramatic singer/songwriter stuff, produced UK garage, hip hop, fronted funk rock and rock n roll bands before finally setting up shop in Indie-Pop-Punk Street, where he now resides

Far from being just a gifted writer and front-man - Rob is the non-stop, energising, driving-force behind The Yakataks; highly motivated from the outset, he lets nothing stand between him and having his vision realised

Jools Glassford

Besides banging out the beats, North London born and bread drummer, Jools, is the band’s Murray Hewitt (every band should have one!). Bringing organisation and focus, if Rob’s the one with his foot on the pedal then Jools is the guy with his hands firmly on the wheel!

Quiet and unassuming, Jools is a clean cut, well grounded guy but is definitely a dark horse - Rob describes him as a "sick man", high praise indeed..

Francesco Preto

A warm and enthusiastic young fella from Vicenza, Italy - Kekko brings tasty melodic baselines delivered with a healthy portion of force to the table and is the Yin to Rob’s Yang both on and off stage

While Rob and Jools concern themselves with driving the thing Kekko, having a typically Italian work ethic & being the more "laid back" of the bunch, has his head out the back window enjoying the wind through his hair!- He's just happy to sit back & enjoy the ride..
