KELPIE SINGLE AND VIDEO RELEASED

Our latest single ‘Kelpie’ was released in December last year!

The Kelpie is a mythical horse demon associated with Scotland’s rivers and lochs. They are renowned for inviting travellers to climb on their backs, before dragging them off into the water and their doom.

The new single from Caro Bridges and Yoko Pwno brings this legend into our modern world.

In Caro’s song, the shapeshifting Kelpie teaches us the value of change, even as it pulls us under. 

This modern update of tradition is reflected in the music. Caro’s gentle lilt is backed up by beautiful harmonies from the Edinburgh folk and roots community choir she directs, Castle Chorus.

Folktronica act Yoko Pwno add intricate fiddles and guitar, plus Pink Floyd-esque synth and percussion. 

The single also features a standout drum performance from Skye-based Iain Copeland (Peatbog Faeries, Sketch).

You can listen to it on Spotify, or go to Skye Records and download it for free - or, alternately watch the video (also featuring Caro and the choir) here;

YOKO PWNO FEATURED IN THE MOODS NEW VIDEO!

Ace Mancunian urban/party band The Moods have launched a new single featuring us!

‘Blessings’ is an absolute monster of a track, with Lissa’s voice on the hook it’s match made in d’n’b-pop-heaven!

We’ve played in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Manchester with the Moods, (they’re FANTASTIC live btw!), and we’re really honoured that they wanted to work with us.

Ali shot our video bits in Edinburgh - check out Calum looking like he’s never held a pair of drumsticks in his life!

YOKO REMIX ON B-SIDE OF LATEST PINLIGHT RELEASE

We’re over the moon to have our remix appear as the B-Side to our pal Pinlight’s next release!

Jenny (aka Pinlight) enlisted our Calum’s help with the mixing of her debut album ‘Grow Slow’ last year, and is putting out a radio edit of the title track as a single on Friday (Nov 27th, 2020).

Our remix will be released on the same day via Spotify!

It’s already had one great review from the guys at Alternative Promotions UK.

‘veeeery funky, with a strong J-Pop vibe and some subtle similarities to 2010's big club banger, 'Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites'.’

Thanks guys! We’ll take that :)

OCTOBER UPDATE

A lot’s been happening in the past few months, so here’s a quick update;

  • Gary Rafferty (banjo) and Helen LeMar (who some of you may have seen playing flute with us last summer) have joined Yoko Pwno. In addition to both having played with on stage and on various recordings we’ve made in the past, they are also part of the Science Ceilidh Band with Lewis. Welcome aboard guys!

  • Our former booking agent Beca has moved to Birmingham and got a proper job! Congratulations Beca, and thanks for all of your hard work over the last two years. We will miss you (and Morrison the cat).

  • Our bookings are now handled by the wonderful Katch Holmes of Offsite Productions. Katch has years of experience running Knockengorroch, and acts as booking agent for some of our favourite acts such as Tinderbox Orchestra, DJ Dolphin Boy and Cera Impala. Katch can be reached at info@offsiteproductions.org.

  • Album number 2 is around the halfway stage at the moment. We had planned to spend October 3rd-17th in Skye putting the final touches to this, but unfortunately the resurgance of Covid-19 and the reimposition of lockdown restrictions have forced us to reschedule to April next year.

  • We’re currently working hard to bring you new music and a podcast. Our facebook and instagram pages are updated regularly, and remain the best place to get your Pwno fix.

Lots of love from us! We hope you’re all well and safe, and we look forward to seeing you all when this is over.

COVID-19 UPDATE

Well, like everyone else, our activities have been curtailed for the time being.

You can still follow us on facebook and instagram (not twitter so much). We’ll have videos, photos and news to share whilst we’re out of action.

Stay home and stay safe people! We will see you all again when this is over <3
