Description

In 2006 the notorious 'Hopepa' (aka Joe Lindsay trombonist extraordinaire) - eased his outlandish antics for a brief moment and formed his own group: The Yoots!

He enlisted his younger brother Sam Lindsay along with collegues Ian Gordon and Toby Laing. Then he summoned Mike Fabulous, the Yeabley Brothers and PK Hoskin. Still not satisfied, Hopepa called in favours from the likes of Craig Poll, Lucien Johnson, Will Ricketts and Adam Tijerina and finally the ensemble was complete.

With Ho at the Helm, the new group set out to navigate a musical passage somewhere between Calypso-Ska and Country-Soul.

THE YOOTS! took the stage at the Cuba Street Carnival, a series of outdoor festivals - as well as late night appearances too numerous to enumerate. Wild excitement and heaving dance floors followed THE YOOTS! at every turn and the air crackled with the strains of the finest party music - songs from the distant corners of the globe - from east Africa to the Caribbean.

Early in 2010, THE YOOTS! began to chart a slightly different course. Along with the rocksteady rhythms of Don Drummond and the Skatelites, other sounds: famous melodies from Aotearoa began to feature on the programe. A new era had commenced.

Songs such as 'Hine E Hine' and E Papa Waiari' WERE were heard alongside strains of the Calypso-Boogie and Creole Compa. Instead of hunting through rare records to unearth musical gems from distant lands, THE YOOTS! searched through their own experiences and earliest memories to draw on the rich musical tradidtion of these islands.

Melodies travel at a speed so rapid as to be immeasurable by science. Long before the words can be heard, the melody of the song has entered the listeners' dreams and there it will forever stay. Now is the hour Aotearoa, to SING ALONG WITH THE YOOTS!!

Yours sincerely,

The President of Economy Records
