Yonder Mountain String Band has always played music by its own set of rules. Bending bluegrass, rock and countless other influences that the band cites, Yonder has pioneered a sound of their own. With their traditional lineup of instruments, the band may look like a traditional bluegrass band at first glance but they’ve created their own music that transcends any genre. Dave Johnston points out “What could be more pure than making your own music.” Yonder’s sound cannot be classified purely as “bluegrass” or “string music” but rather it’s an original sound created from “looking at music from [their] own experiences and doing the best job possible.” The band continues to play by their own rules on their new record The Show.
The Colorado-based foursome has crisscrossed the country over the past eleven years playing such varied settings as festivals, rock clubs, Red Rocks Amphitheater in the band’s home state, and recently the Democratic National Convention in Denver at Mile High Stadium opening for Barack Obama. Their loyal fanbase has been built from this diverse setting of music venues as fans latched on to their genre-defying original sound.
In between tours the band spent time this last year working on its fifth studio album. Set for a September 1 release on the band’s own label, The Show is the second album with rock producer Tom Rothrock (Beck, Elliott Smith, Foo Fighters). While some might scratch their heads as to why a string band would want a rock producer, this decision was a natural choice for the band. “We don’t have a lot of nostalgia for the past,” says banjo player Dave Johnston. “You shouldn’t try to recreate the 1940s. I like to think of us as informed by the past and all the great performers before us. But we also want to look forward rather than give people something that has already been perfected.” (Read more . . .)

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey Butane in my veins and Im out to cut the junkie With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose Kill the headlights and put it in neutral Stock car flamin with a loser and the cruise control Babys in reno with the vitamin d Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat Someone came in sayin Im insane to complain About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt Dont believe everything that you breathe You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve So shave your face with some mace in the dark Savin all your food stamps and burnin down the trailer park
Yo. cut it.

Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me?
Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber cuz ones got a weasel and the others got a flag Ones on the pole, shove the other in a bag With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job The daytime crap of the folksinger slob He hung himself with a guitar string A slab of turkey-neck and its hangin from a pigeon wing You cant write if you cant relate Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate And my time is a piece of wax fallin on a termite Thats chokin on the splinters
