   YUNIOSHI: General Info
Member Since12/7/2005
Band MembersRob Yunioshi, Lady Yunioshi Suzuki, James Yunioshi San and Hakushi Yunioshi san with an assortment of guests










Welcome to 2009 ! ! !

Why not grab the very limited supply of EPTWO while you can. Six whole tracks of 'Robot Funk Shit' plus guest vocals from 'The Woods' of Do Me Bad Things fame. Available at gigs!

Yunioshi: A potted history so far!
Well, we've not been around that long but we've been very busy. In our first year we managed to get two tracks from our first EP1 picked up for ad syncs (Kia and Vauxhall cars), released our first single, played Nottingham Arena as well as numerous other fantastic venues around the country, and even picked up our fourth member Hakushi Yunioshi San - our brand spanking new live drummer. 2008 was a tough year for Hakushi who suffered a T8 level spinal injury at the start of 2008 leaving him paralysed from the waist down. However, the Yunioshi spirit is strong and he has reinvented drumming from his wheelchair! While he was away for 7 months of spinal rehab we did a few things without him. Our premier Maida Vale session recorded in April as part of BBC Introducing. This was quickly followed by flying to Iceland to play a show in Reykjaviks famous Organ venue. We then played the Introducing stage at the Middle of Nowhere festival. We also had another track used on the telly. Thunderbird was used by Setanta Sports football coverage in December 08. This track will also appear on a compilation released by Lo Recordings / Universal in January 2009 - so look out for that!

Yunioshi 2009: Lets Go!
The plan for this year is simple. Festival gigs please! EP3 will be released with songs about cowboys, drumbeats and badass scuzzy electro! Our live shows will become ultra spectacular events. Our homemade gig cakes will be even nicer. We're gonna aim for even more radio play, more press and bigger gigs. We're gonna be commin attcha like a jack-knife freak-beat!


// Latest Gig News //

We'll have tshirts for sale too! Come along and bring all your mates!

InfluencesFonda 500, Beck, Simple Kid, Tom Vek, Serge Gainsbourg, The Experimental Pop Band
Sounds Like"A brightly, highly, super cool funk breakbeat three piece from Nottingham, with a sound that is so spot on it would appear this is more american sounding than a british thing, but all in all a fresh approach! If you imagine Lemonjelly, Massive Attack and Del La Soul forming a supergroup, this would be the outcome!"
Fierce Panda


Yunioshi has a sound like Beck, Simple Kid, Tom Vek, Fonda 500 and the Super Furry Animals all regressed back to small children and hanging out at the zoo laughing at monkeys throwing their own poo at the people watching. An eclectic mix of found breakbeat samples from the back of dusty cupboards cut out by scissors with round blades and glued together by hooky guitars, old childrens keyboards and whatever odd instruments ebay has on offer that week.

YUNIOSHI - Leisure Rules - Leisure Rules



"Think Beck dry humping the Flaming Lips with the robot from Lost In Space looking on and filming all the action for his own personal collection. The perfect pop band. They're as catchy as hell." Leftlion Magazine


"A brightly, highly, super cool funk breakbeat three piece from Nottingham, with a sound that is so spot on it would appear this is more american sounding than a british thing! If you imagine Lemonjelly, Massive Attack and Del La Soul forming a supergroup, this would be the outcome!" Fierce Panda


"The band blend Beck-style flagrant rhythms and otherworldly vocals in a DIY style, creating something danceable, updeat and louder than an American in a sun-visor shop." Metro


"The exact place where found sounds and breakbeats merge with left of centre indie pop; all lilting Beck-style rhythms, hummable hooks and spoken word vocals in the style of Mr Ian Dury." Tunetribe.com (Mymo: Single of the week)


"Great innit" Jo Whiley BBC Radio One (Mymo single release)


"A cracking tune" Stephen Merchant BBC6 Music (Yunioshirocks single)


"Yunioshi are mining a rich seam of Odelay-era Beck style indie/hip-hop crossover tunes. 'Thunderbird' is yet another example, with ominous horns, gruff growling rhymes and beats guaranteed to keep your feet moving." Maps Magazine (Thunderbird single)
