Yukon Blonde is Jeff Innes, Brandon Scott, Adam Newton, and Graham Jones – a band from the rolling hills of Kelowna, a city that enjoys, and is cursed by it’s own burgeoning scene. Going under the name AlphaBaby from early 2005 until late 2008, the band has conquered their fair city and toured through Canada extensively, playing some 300 shows whilst performing alongside bands such as Ladyhawk, The Constantines, Jon-Rae Fletcher, Magnolia Electric Co, Black Mountain, and Women. As AlphaBaby, (then a quintet) the band also released two EPs: "You Gentle Crustacean", recorded by Colin Stewart of The Hive Creative Labs in Vancouver BC, and "AlphaBaby Live", a bootleg by dear friend Kaylub Burke.
A band that borrows from the best; looking for influence in 60’s rock harmonies, thick yet simple hooks, and depression-era furniture upholstery, they have been compared to Supertramp, Fleetwood Mac, Crosby/Stills/Nash, and America. Yukon Blonde was formed by Innes, Scott, Jones, and Newton out of their love of nostalgic music and a need to make new sound in a screaming town.
After returning from a cross-Canada tour with Jon-Rae Fletcher, Yukon Blonde is settling down to record their debut full length album which is slated to be produced by Shawn Cole who helped Bend Sinister, YSP!WSD!, and Wintermitts. It will be available in most music retailers in North America on Nevado Records.
If AlphaBaby [Yukon Blonde] ever lose a member and need to place a newspaper ad to fill that spot, one of the prerequisites will likely read, "must be visually impaired due to extremely long hair." -ChartAttack
That was an excellent set at The Supermarket. Reviving the sunny album-oriented sound of the 70’s, infusing catchy-hooks and folk-tinged harmonies of FM gold. Brimming with sparkling guitars and gentle swooning energy, this is breezy immaculate pop that’s indebted to bands like Fleetwood Mac, Supertramp, America, and giving it a modern twist. Keep to your musical vision.
Hope all is going well. I've got some shows lined up for your return. It's going to be sweet. We've still got that extra room in the Red Cedar house for Graham. Good times ahead. Get home safe. See you fine gentlemen soon.
