Backwoods Beats and Monk’s Bar Presents: Orange is the New Yak

March 15 @ 8:00 pm March 16 @ 11:59 am UTC+0

YAK ATTACK presented by Backwoods Beats and Monk’s Bar

Live electronica power trio from Portland Oregon. Best described as “organic electronica”, Yak Attack uses tight chops, live loops, and well crafted songs, combined with raw improvisation, to build high-energy and uplifting dance music from scratch, where every note is played and recorded live.

Cytrus

Shaped by Jared Squires (guitar/vocals), Luke Nevills (bass/keys), Brandon Hailey (saxophone), Owen Mayo (keys/guitar), Trevor Church (drums), Alex Dean (synth/keys), Sean Connelly (vocals/keys), and Connor Merritt (aux percussion), Cytrus mines psychedelic funk, disco, electronic, rock, soul, hip-hop. Flowing through kaleidoscopic transitions, the band’s juicy synths and brass-powered grooves coalesce into an undeniable, hypnotic wall of sound.

Cytrus began when two Everett, WA bands found themselves mixing in the same shared rehearsal space. Finding they shared an ethos and approach to songcraft, Bunk Foss & HopSol merged, and Cytrus was born. The songs on Concentrate arose organically; some grew from sketches crafted by subgroups with the band where were then expanded upon in a full band setting. Others began as purely improvised sessions with the full octet which were later arranged. Yet all ultimately come from the conflux of individuality and collaboration.
