| About Yoshi |
Remember the noise the Super Nintendo made when you sleighed it against your wall whilst taking a whooping at Mario Cart? If not, please allow us to introduce Fife's leading (well… ok, only) bleep-buggering 8-bit bandits Yoshi, an enigmatic musical collective heavily influenced by video-gaming, a vivid culture that Yoshi have melded, via 8-bit computer game samples, with their own melodic world of upbeat, three-part harmonies, analog synth and dirty guitar.
