Yellowbelly are an established UK based 3 piece band producing country pop with a strangely refreshing twist. With soaring melodies, lavish harmonies and contrasting moods they sway from tongue in cheek humour on songs like “Cowboy” and “The Unnatural State of America” where they express their fascination with American music but at the same time mocking it’s symbolism with lines like “I’ve got a million dollar car made of buffalo hide!”. To questioning political and moral issues in “Blood Tainted Love” a dark, intricate and challenging song about religious fanaticism.
The threesome are headed up by Gaz Birtles, vocals, sax and occasional guitar, formerly of the eighties synth band The Swinging Laurels who had a whole series of quirky hits in America and the UK, Dave Walton on guitar and vocals and James Lynch, keyboards, bass and vocals. This latter pairing produce an alluring back ground to the strong melodies and rich vocal tones of Mr Birtles and when coupled with his “charming man” image it makes them “must see!” live performers. Extraordinarily rich harmonies and energetic antics leave audiences amused, elated and possibly berated but always smiling.
The band have been writing and performing songs together for sometime now and this shows in their ability to effortlessly mingle harmonies and intertwine instrumental parts to dramatic effect and, whilst they concentrate mostly on their own material, you can’t help but come away with head full of melodies and a wry smile.
Gaz can also be seen playing sax with “The Beautiful South” and occasionally the “Fun Lovin’ Criminals” at their live performances.
Onstage at 8pm so get there early, and tell the good folk on the door you've come to see The Pleasures as you hand your £4 over for an experience of a lifetime.
damn, my friend just told me how to get a $500 Gift Card to Macy's for FREE mine just came in the mail today and it is very simple to get one it only takes one minute!!!
Hi guys, just listening to your music for the first time (believe it or not!) I really like Guess Who’s Lovin’ You, that wouldn’t be out of place on a 60’s record. Shout About It ain’t half bad either… so have some kudos, whatever that is. KUDOS! No, have two. KUDOSSS!!
Howdy Gaz,
I am fully recovered from Ireland and gearing myself up for the arena tour, hope America went well but enough about that my order is on it's way for the 7" vinyl I told you I would buy it.
Thanks for the friend request. I love your music, and hope that you keep up the good work. Hope everything's ok. Please stay safe, take care, and keep in touch.
No, that makes sense I guess! Yeah, hopefully see you in Lincoln, depends how fast I can drive - I'm living down South til Christmas and will be coming straight from work! x
