"Isn't Pretty" is the bang-up third release in seven (or so) years. Its predecessors "What Grenade ?1?" (2003) and "Pink Insides" (2005) show a clear progression of songwriting and skill growth. Ya Ya Boom climbed the candy mountain, and the peak is in sight. It's latest effort, recorded and mixed at guitarist Carlos Garcia's studio, is a sugary effort with a hints of sour.
In less metaphoric terms, we're talking intricate vocal harmonies, bass lines that are oh so much more, complex rhythms, hook-laden guitars and exploding choruses.
Ya Ya Boom has never been the same band twice. The group never wrote the same song twice, and every year brings new experiments adorned with biting hooks and lavish effects. Bolder, more confident, after two micro-tours and plenty of time in Albuquerque's scene, Ya Ya Boom crackles and pops, twists and spins, and finds its lollipop heart dangling dangerously over the edge.
Hey Ya Ya Boom! Thanks for adding moi:) I really, REALLY dig your music, your writing is really fresh and distinctive. (And, just cool!) Also, your little brother is such an awesome drummer! (I'm Brandon C's hermana, that's how I know;)

It looks like we might be playing at The Falcon which is actually in Englewood, whatever that means. My knowledge of Denver geography is subpar. Anyway, sorry for ruining chocolate syrup for you! While I was having nightmares of zombies, you guys were probably having nightmares of sundaes.
Hey kids! We really really appreciate you guys being grossified for a few hours for the sake of a silly music video. We'll let you know when the finished product is ready! You guys are awesome!!!
By the way, I noticed we're gonna be in Denver on the same day in August. Crrrazy. We should totally hang out in a different town!! WHOA!
