Directly from Cape Town comes a new, trashy and primitive Garage-band: The Gumbo Ya-Ya's!
The young quartet seems to have raw Garagerock in their veins; the characteristic voice of singer Heino Retief (who also plays with The Future Primitives and The Revelators) has a cool, relaxed and moaning tone to it and reminds one a lot of the fantastic Gruesomes. The 'Ya-Ya's' have catchy, bluesy guitars, a stomping beat and a cool attitude!
All songs are self-composed except for a cool cover version of The Breakers' 'Don't Send Me No Flowers', which is best known from the Pebbles compilation. The boys keep the harmonies but add a bit more of a trashy touch to it. All of the band's songs have a great deal of 60s Garage influence in them. Not so much the commercial side of the 60s sound with catchy hymns and pop elements, but rather the primitive, underground one - it's simply a bluesy, raw, lo-fi guitar-sound that seems like its coming out of an American garage from the 60s.
If you like new, trashy Garagepunk-bands like The Baron Four, The Gumbo Ya-Ya's will win you over in no time! Get yourselves a copy of the debut album of South Africa's newest Garage-sensation and be prepared to get wild and confused with them!
