(2) Yeti is also the name of an ambient project by Krister Linder. One full length album, called ‘Holtkötter’, 1 EP and 3 singles have been released by Krister under the name Yeti. (3)YETI formed in August of ‘98 as a merger of two bands. The first group, already named Yeti, consisted of Tommy Atkins on bass, Jon Teague on drums, Eric Harris on guitar, as well as another guitarist. The second, Est Mort, was a loosly organized group occasionally getting together on weekends with Atkins, Teague, and Doug Ferguson on keyboards. When the original Yeti lost it’s lead guitarist, Ferguson was asked to come in for trial practice. After countless live shows, the studio LP “Things to Come” and several live Cds, Ferguson left this earth on February, 23, 2002. Faced with a serious creative and moral dilemma Atkins, Harris, and Teague opted to continue as a trio, with Atkins and Teague taking over keyboard responsibilities. YETI continues to offer a heavier music combining the darker elements of jazz and rock forms (4) Yeti is also an American black/death metal band based out of Florida consisting of Al Nunn on guitar, Mike Curry on guitar, Eric Avant on keys and vocals, Jonathon Montgomery on bass, and Scott Nunn on the drums. They have released one full-length (Niflheim), an EP (Yeti) and a live DVD. They have changed their name to Among The Dead http://www.myspace.com/theyeti (5) Yeti consists of Omar Khouri, Russell Lichter and Rob LaMorgese. Rob and Russ met at college in Boston in the late nineties. Rob and Russ met Omar in Los Angeles after the turn of the century.|The three hit it off nicely and decided to try jamming together. While their styles were a bit different, they seemed to mesh well. Most of the music was recorded at Omar’s apartment in summer. It was during the recording sessions that their mutual love of verses was discovered. Screw choruses. They’re cheap and tawdry. Omar and Russ wrote the majority of the music, but Rob kicked in a bit here or there. I think there was even a whole bass line he wrote. It was so good, he couldn’t play it. Omar did. Or Russ. He can’t remember. Omar and Rob did the singing. They usually wrote the lyrics they sang, but occasionally backed the other one. This worked out well for them as they have lovely singing voices. Yeti is a blast. Yeti is sexy. Yeti loves you. And yes…Yeti will respect you in the morning. So please enjoy the music. They most certainly enjoyed making it for you. http://www.myspace.com/yetipage |
