Biography
YIS are two brothers Simon Fazio (Vocals/Guitar/Synthesizer) and Andre Fazio (Drums/Bass/Drawing/Mystique) along with one non-blood relative; Bronwyn Liroudia-Rands (Bass/Charisma/Catering/Mediation). They formed in Melbourne, Australia in August 2009.
Simon and Andre have been playing together in various bands for the past decade and fighting for the last two. Bron is a ex-chef who now studies physics and is has been described as "the only bass player who is capable of being the luke-warm water between our fire and ice". Together they make something described as "the schizophrenic ghost of Alan Vega possessing someone with a narcissistic personality disorder who auditions for a Comets on Fire/Neu! supergroup."
Since making their live debut in October 2009, YIS have played at many venues across Melbourne and have hopped inside a hatchback to play shows in Sydney, Canberra and Adelaide. Their debut album "Kingdom of Fuzz" was recorded by Paul Maybury (from Rocket Science) at A Secret Locaiton in Fairfield, VIC in September 2010 and was mastered by Joe Lambert in NYC (responsible for Animal Collective's "Merriweather Post Pavillion", Deerhunter's "Microcastle/Weird Era Cont." and "Halycon Digest", and Cheap Trick's "Live at Budokan" amongst many others) in October.
The album will feature artwork by Rick Froberg (from Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes and Obits) and is avaliable from http://yisyisyis.bandcamp.com
