Big news for LYP... We are now the monthly resident band for Chillin' Productions who hosts the biggest monthly fashion event in SF at 111 Minna and select shows at Mezzanine. Put on your best dress (or pants, preferably tight) and come make the scene at the next show on April 5th.

Thank you to those who made it out to Cafe du Nord on the 17th! We had a helluva good time and really enjoyed seeing you. Thanks to our new friends Cold Hot Crash and Mighty Six-Ninety for playing their asses off and helping make the night a success.
This weekend is another great event to come and behold... Fashion, Art and music under one roof. Our dear friend, the alluring Irene' Hernandez-Feiks of Chillin' Productions, has put together a monthly fashion event that's sure to make all the fashionistas wet their pants. I think we might dress up for this one.

Greetings from the secret LYP recording bunker, hidden deep in
picturesque Presidio National Park. At this time of night you'll only
find the occasional skunk, ghosts of military generals, and your
friendly neighborhood rock band roaming the streets in these here parts.
And that's just the way we like it. Except for the skunks. Not so much
the skunks.
12.13.07
Recovering from colds, bronchitis, holed up in our newly operational recording studio, working on new tracks. New record next year. Stay tuned.
10.24.07
The birthday party at 111 Minna was off the shzang. We celebrated Cris' eternal youth as well as that of our good friend Irene from Chillin Productions. Thanks to all who made it out.

We got a nice little write-up in the SF Chronicle ...
07.18.07
The Viper Room, La Velvet Margarita Cantina, Tiny's, LAX (no we didn't
see Nicole Richie but we did see equally cheesy hos) and not to mention
the club we played, Club Cabana ... a tour hosted by the Dapper Michael
Sparkle and his beautiful partner in crime, DJ Tatiana.
Did I mention we ended up partying at a Castle in the Hollywood hills
where a scene of Spinal Tap was shot! Jesus Christ! I couldn't get Chris
Stevens to stop reciting lines from the film... it was quite
embarassing, really.
Next time, you're all invited...
06.28.07
A hearty thank-you to everyone who came to Rasputin in Berkeley, bought records, and hung out with us. Playing in daylight is always a bit uncomfortable for us vampires, but the stage sound was great. Seng shot some cool photos

12.5.06
We mastered the new record the day before Thanksgiving, and it sounds excellent. Fat, warm, punchy ... all those big dumb descriptors. We're currently working on the artwork, and are very close to signing a national distribution deal. More on that later... Happy Shopping Day.
11.21.06
"Simple Devices", our first full-length album, will be released spring 2007 -- containing the tracks:
-- C'mon
-- Water Music (for People Who Can't Swim)
-- For Your Safety and the Safety of Others
-- Automata
-- Television
-- Twilight ... and What's to Come
-- Answers to Common Questions
-- Building a Better You
-- All My Connections
The versions of the songs that are on our MySpace right now are demo
versions, not the real thing ... but we're giving them away, what do you
expect?
The tracks were recorded live over two days at Bayview Studios with Karl
Derfler engineering. Keyboards, backing vocals, kazoo, and bird noises
are being added as I write this. Boone Spooner from Madelia is almost done mixing
the thing.
08.22.06
Thanks to all who came out to the International Pop Overthrow show and the SF Bicycle Messenger Association benefit show at the Eagle Tavern. We helped earn over $300 for those scruffy folks. Didn't win anything in the darn raffle, though.
07.17.06
We're done with the basic tracking for our new record! We were working at Bayview Studios in Richmond with Karl Derfler at the board, playing live as a band (as opposed to endless overdubs, the usual method), and laying down 9 songs in 2 days. Recording fueled by Corona and BBQ ribs. Details and photos here.
06.03.06
We were just interviewed on the Tower Music podcast network, along with Rykarda Parasol. Hear previews of our new songs, and witty interview banter.

The band is doing pre-production rehearsals for the new record ... recording to be done in May ... quick and dirty, as always, but this time with a secret weapon at the console.

hot), we're asking our faithful fans to nominate their
choice for the first ever LYP women's t-shirt. Vote via myspace.com or send us a message.
Once we feel we've gotten enough feedback, we'll

10.01.05
It's always nice to come home, especially when you were in the land of wildfires and ashes were dropping out of the skies like little gray butterflies. Getting a record review from the Owl Mag is even nicer.

It's been 6 days and 11 hours since the intense sound pressure levels of the Rickshaw Stop's
finely tuned amplification system carried the glorious voice of His Joelness, announcing
Little Yellow Perfect and the release of their long awaited EP, "This City and All of the Cites."
From a collection of audience member accounts we've pieced together a paraphrased Joelness quote
comparing our music to "a hot girl dripping wet from a shower..."
Of course, that's the paraphrase and not a confirmed quote.
If you want to get a taste of what you missed, check out our extra special CD Release Party Photo Page.

We're the San Francisco Chronicle's download of the

Yellow Perfect in today's pink pages:
San Francisco Chronicle Datebook:

"Download of the week: Little Yellow Perfect -- 'Fireflies.'
Bay Area dance-rock band Little
Yellow Perfect employs the same heady mix of grit and
glitter as the Killers and Queens of the Stone Age to
get indie types going. Catch the group live Friday at
the Club ID (Rickshaw Stop), the best thing to happen
to Friday nights since Zima, the 'clear malt
beverage.' Like you've never tried it! Go to
www.myspace.com/littleyellowperfect"

After years of resisting temptation, Little Yellow
Perfect has finally compromised its creative integrity
and sold out to The Man. Not just any man, but Bill
Gates himself. Sort of. Check out this Windows Server
System ad, with an LYP gig poster that Cris designed
in the background!

San Francisco station Live105 played "Fireflies" on Soundcheck tonight. Let's hear it for Aaron Axelsen and a radio station that dares to play bands that aren't on any corporate playlist. If you heard us, it wouldn't hurt to call 478-LIVE and let them know you liked it.
05.17.05
Take a peek at what Los Angeles tastemakers Sushi High are saying about us.
