It’s The Yow Yows birthday! Not long ago, a ramshackle group of friends jammed a few songs at a camping event in Roughton – sweaty palms, croaky voices, dodgy beats. They were christened Gas Stove Airship (ask Jamie Brown & Chris Taylor!).

Since then, we’ve worked hard to build our band, playing great songs for our gorgeous fans (that’s you) – it’s been a journey, lots of blood & tears, but we love it!

In time-honoured tradition, we’d like to thank a few people for helping us get here – Geoff & Vanessa (for giving us a home & putting up with duff rehearsals), Chris Taylor (for all those intimate photos), Caz Sayles (aka Booby Bez, our second set of ears), Becci James (always there to help with the loading), all our old friends & families for coming to our gigs & dancing along, and of course all you guys for supporting the Yows!

To celebrate, we’ve launched 2 recorded songs for you to keep – head over to our Music page to listen.

We love you all xx
