Sounds Like
"A soundtrack to the video game of life."
Yellow Minnow's original material is often hook laden and catchy, with jam setions and improvisation. The vocal harmonies and dual guitars blend with the funked-out, artistic rhythm section. This combination creates a diverse musical landscape.
****** A small fish projecting big sound waves, Yellow Minnow was formed by four artists who came together in search musical freedom. The group's style is rooted in funk, jam, rock, blues and jazz. They throw in a dash of hip-hop and improvisation to bring out the flavor. ****** A musical connection was developed between guitarists Ryan and Jeff when the two met in St. Cloud, MN where they met at SCSU. Since then, they have been involved with a couple other projects, such as the Mankato based band The Sideways. After that band parted ways, Ryan and Jeff met Ken, who was new to the Twin Cities area. Ken had played bass with groups from a few different areas across the country including New York, Colorado & New Orleans. His funky bass lines meshed with the music Ryan and Jeff were writing. The trio later met Jesse, who had recently returned to the area after living in Vermont. His artistic drumming style was the perfect addition to complete Yellow Minnow's sound. ******

Damn, no free drinks?! Oh, well, the free cover more than makes up for it! Yeah, I was pretty intoxicated on Saturday as well, and wasn't feeling 100% on Sunday at all! However, it was a damn good time! I was just bummed that I didn't get to see you hugging everyone when you got to Sam's! :) And as for the glass o' water, ANYTIME!!
