Yoda
Yoda are a Sheffield-based five-piece who combine stunning male and female vocals with trip-hop live drum & bass beats. Featuring dark samples and ambient guitar noises, Yoda’s self-produced debut album is available for demo purposes.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Yoda began life as a drummer and a bassist, and not long after, the diverse songwriting talents of David Silverman and Daniel Humble showed through.
Formed in ’97 after leaving a student band to pursue originality, they began producing their own album. Encouraged by positive reactions to their work, they recruited Tim Head and Ian Lockwood to the fold, with the help of talented vocalist Nicola Kenny, whom they met in a Sheffield club.
With the album finished, Yoda are now gigging locally and looking for (inter)national interest.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Indeed we do - around our hometown of Sheffield at the moment, but hopefully around the country soon!
We get a real buzz off it, although the only really special moment so far would be when we killed the electrics twice at our first gig...
