Since I was lucky enough to see
Yak support Peace in Bristol in January they’ve really exploded into action. A debut
single already released and nestled nicely in my record collection and the
Plastic People EP on its way later this year, this band will be big and soon.
Yak’s first visit to Exeter was
back in February so it’s a bit of a disgrace I’m only just mentioning it. In a
support slot for Palma Violets, the band set about their fuzz filled set with
suitably rumbling bass lines and shimmering guitar feedback. The night was
young but the room was full to see one of the UK’s hottest new bands and they
definitely didn’t disappoint.
It wasn’t long before they
where back, this time with a headline slot at Exeter’s finest underground club,
The Cavern. Equally hotly tipped, The Big Moon joined Yak as supports and got
the party started with their fun filled set, which included fantastic new
single ‘Sucker’.
Soon after Yak were on, and
playful as ever. Front man Ollie Burslem presented a rather unappealing looking
buffest for audience members to pick at before singing through cardboard cups
and writhing around on the floor.
I’ve seen Yak three times now
and their phenomenally tight, gigantic sound is no doubt taking them to the
top.
