is this thing on?

Post 1.
We had to get into this sometime. I blame 100 records.

A brief history. yokozuna (no capitals) are 3 people who are in a band who love music. But not in all of its forms as a lot of it is rubbish. We only like awesome stuff. And that's the real point of this.

Like the fire triangle, yokozuna consist of Chris (heat), Kev (fuel) and Russell (oxygen). We don't abbreviate his name for some reason.
Chris likes Drive Like Jehu, Fugazi, Descendents and most dodgy old 80's hardcore. He's responsible for the mainly high frequency sounds that yokozuna make, some of it intelligible.
Kev enjoys Bitch Magnet, Slint, Trail of Dead and is currently revisiting a dark industrial past that includes Godflesh and KMFDM. He makes occasional booming sounds.
Russell espouses the virtues of Melt Banana, Urusei Yatsura, Polvo and Eastern Youth to everyone. His liking of Neil Young is not reflected in the strange, driving, clanking sounds that emanate from his arms and legs.

So what qualifies as awesome? Here's a start: fugazi, sonic youth, deerhoof, jesus lizard, pj harvey, number girl, bitch magnet, big black, minutemen, urusei yatsura, eastern youth, melt banana, marnie stern, unsane, superchunk, dinosaur jr, a frames, unwound, shellac, rapeman, mclusky and, of course, yokozuna.

Expect to see new songs, rehearsals, remixes, old songs, back slapping, bitch slapping, ripoffs, riffs, lyrics, ramblings, pleadings and good old fashioned noisy music. We expect feedback, shoutings, big-ups, put-downs, reviews, reviles and reptiles in return.

later,

yokozuna
