FRESH from the Dorset Music Award Semi-Finals, local favourites Yellowgroove are hitting the road.
Key dates include a gig at Bournemouth bar Smokin Aces next Friday and the O2 Academy Bournemouth on May 26.
Music isn’t their only lifestyle choice, as the band are eager and devoted environmentalists.
The band travel to gigs in an A-Team style van which runs completely on recycled chip-fat oil, guitarist Mark Leybourne has a PHD in renewable energy and they use recycled wood for their CD coverings.
“For us, making this our full time job is our goal, and bringing our music out to as many audiences as possible, pushing our creativity to the full, whilst showing that touring and being in a band needn’t mean pumping loads of co2 into the atmosphere and adding to the mountains of plastic - if companies and corporations can attempt carbon neutrality, then so can bands,” says lead singer Simon Stevens.
