"Congratulations to Little Yellow Perfect, which was invited to play the main stages at the Folsom Street Fair today and the Castro Street Fair on Oct 7. It's not surprising: The band's latest album, 'Simple Devices,' is that good.

While the street-fair circuit is short on rock-star perks, Little Yellow Perfect did get the opportunity to enjoy a taste during a recent trip to Los Angeles: The band members partied like VIPs at all the young-celebrity hangouts and watched the sun rise over smoggy downtown from a castle in the Hollywood hills.

Sample the new track "Nails on Skin" (not on the CD) at www.myspace.com/littleyellowperfect."

-- Bill Picture, San Francisco Chronicle, Sept 30, 2007

"Equal parts incredibly infectious dance-rock and stadium-ready hooks, LYP's debut album is as strong a statement lyrically as it is musically, railing against consumer culture. At times things are deliberately reminiscent of classic 80s sounds by bands like The Fixx or Duran Duran, but the personalities of the four members always shines through. The song writing is darkly luminous, while Cris Logan's voice is filled with longing and almost-desperation."

-- Rasputin Recommends, summer 2007

"Singer Chris Logan provides much of the sound structure by way of his slightly strained vocals with hints of both Bono and Liam Gallagher, but a little of something new as well."

-- Adam Greenberg, Billboard.com (AMG), April 2007

"It's hard to keep your feet from tapping during 'Television' -- the use of the guitar, though seemingly scratchy, helps carry the song to the very last beat, making it easy to envision hearing it on heavy rotation at the hipster clubs very soon."

-- Allison Bloch, West Coast Performer, March 2007

"The most pleasing surprise of all comes in the album's exceptional closer, 'Twilight ... and What's to Come' which rocks like a lost gem of the early '90's, completing the satisfying crescendo that is Simple Devices."

-- Gabrielle Goodbar, the Owl Mag, Feb 2007

"Their polished pop-rock -- with tasteful punk and hard rock influences -- is tight and radio-ready.... Both 'Satellites' and 'Used as Directed,' or perhaps something from their upcoming full-length, could conceivably become a modern rock radio hit across the country. Don't be surprised to see a major label snatch up these guys up soon from the tiny Ruler Records."

-- Nate Seltenrich, Zero Magazine, April 2006

"Dance-rock? Fashion rock? Alternative? Catchy guitar-rock? Underground power-pop? Regardless of any overly-categorical definition of SF-based Little Yellow Perfect's sound, one thing is clear: these guys can get a song stuck in your head.

This City and All of the Cities is a six-track EP released in August of 2005, a year after LYP‚s original drummer 'took a wrong turn on his way to a gig in Berkeley and was never seen again.' New drummer Mike Fritz definitely makes his presence felt on this EP, while fans hope his sense of direction is on par with his drumming.

With only six tracks, listeners are left wanting more, especially after hearing standouts 'Used as Directed' and 'Satellites' a few times. Vocalist and primary lyricist Cris Logan showcases his stirring voice, making these two songs both beguiling and easy to hear. So easy, in fact, it won't take long until you're embarrassing yourself mouthing lyrics in front of friends.

Look for LYP in The City, Oakland and Berkeley, coming through with a sound slightly reminiscent of Jimmy Eat World, The Killers and Interpol, with that Golden Gate to the East Bay twist."

--Tim O'Rourke, the Owl Mag, Sept. 28, 2005

"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."

-- Bill Picture, San Francisco Chronicle, August 7, 2005

"As the Music Director at KOSO radio station, I was recently invited to attend a concert in order to check out a band. That band was very good, but I couldn't stop thinking about the band that came on stage before that one. The headlining band did have great songs, great technical abilities and an overall professional sound, but that first band had all those things and something else ... that magic spark ... that sincere love and appreciation for their audience ... that feeling of joy and fun that they were able to so clearly translate to the audience ... they had what some call the 'it' factor, or star quality. That band was Little Yellow Perfect. I urge those in the music industry to do whatever you can to be a part of the excitement called Little Yellow Perfect."

-- Donna Miller, B93.1 KOSO FM, Modesto, CA

"Take the hooky sophistication of Interpol, exchange the mope for pop, and you'll start to get an idea of LYP ... The last three decades have all gotten their rock on in different ways and LYP has found a way to take the best bits of those times and glue them together."

-- Claybird, contributing writer for online zine Sushi High

"Little Yellow Perfect's deft mix of danceable rock and stylish looks places the band comfortably on the uber-hip San Francisco rock scene -- until they graduate to the next level, that is."

-- Jocelyn Kane, Deputy Director of San Francisco's Entertainment Commission

"Little Yellow Perfect -- a band that combines guitar rock and 'fashion rock,' appealing to fans who aren't embarrassed to sing along with their car stereos. Better make room in your car's CD changer..."

-- David Bash, Founder/CEO of the International Pop Overthrow Festival

"Highlights of the (International Pop Overthrow) festival include Little Yellow Perfect... Fans of underdog power pop should be ready to call in sick for a week."

-- NVB, Flavorpill SF

"Their sound stays embedded in your head, their lyrics are easily remembered and after listening to 'Fireflies,' you find yourself singing it well into your work day."

-- Zero Magazine, August 2005

"Fashionable S.F. pop-rockers ...

-- LA Weekly, Sept. 23, 2005

"... a MUST HEAR! San Francisco's best kept secret might just be Little Yellow Perfect."

-- Popbang Radio

"SJ: 'Do you have any advice...?' Chris: '... don't just be an Internet music fan, get out there and see a show in the town where you live. Be part of the scene, or make your own.'"
