Cool sassy vocals, psychedelic guitar + a Frankenstein’s monster of turntable & synth; electro-pop duo Yeah Wednesday carve a sound that’s a unique hybrid of nu-jazz to trip-hop, rock to blues.
Yeah Wednesday’s Gavin & Janette have had a surprising career; with live performances in over 30 countries, at venues as diverse as Falls Festival, Espy, Revolver, Yah Yah’s, Reading Festival (UK), Roskilde Festival (Dmk) & Royal Albert Hall (UK). (***FACT - Gavin actually SMASHED a guitar on the stage of that delightful dome!!)
After far too many TV appearances, inc. Top Of The Pops in the UK; and even more bizarrely, having both played Soccer at Wembley Stadium (what tha?)… it was obviously time to return to Australia, unpack their suitcases, and concentrate on writing/recording.
They have since secured publishing deals in Aust. & USA - and their most current project - Yeah Wednesday - sees them re-emerge from their studio – armed with a deck, synth, guitar, killer vocals & their debut album… “Gravity Is Our Friend…”
‘Gravity Is Our Friend…’ - a collection of 10 tracks ranging from Electro Dance Rock, to Blues, to Nu-Jazz, to Trip-Hop…
*****Available NOW to download, and as a CD, on iTunes & Amazon*****
“A 100 Million Dollar Bills” - a tongue’n’cheek reflection on excess… the faceless minority… and the dangers of misusing a rubber plunger!
“Is That All There Is?” - Nu-jazz with electro-pop elementals (“Black-Eyed Peas meets Moloko”)
“Deserter” - dark, brooding, blues-infused electro rock…
"By A Thread" - pop-encrusted electro-dance…
"One More Thing" - a trip-hop, nu-jazz ballad…

Things that have been said about Yeah Wednesday…
"Overflowed"… Hauntingly beautiful vocals. Reminds me of Sarah Brightman
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“…i absolutely LOVE the cd! the vocals on “is that all there is” send shivers down my spine!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“A tasty smorgasbord: This enigmatic act are very versatile - one minute they sound rocky and laid back (laid Beck??) with “A 100 Million Dollar Bills” and then the album goes into pure pleasure electronica like the lush “By A Thread”. This is a quality production with real instruments coupled with rich electronic arrangements. Listen to it in an intimate setting with someone you want to get closer to. Very sexy!!!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“A 100 Million Dollar Bills, this Great tune grabbed me straight away,it’s been on high rotation in my studio,

“…(re: A 100 Million Dollar Bills)…it’s a great eye catching clip, but I prefer “Is That All There Is?” as Janette has such a wonderful voice which is given much more prominence; although Gavin’s Nirvana obsession is quite obvious on a1mdb…”
