About Me

YETI operated from Halloween 1998 until Easter 2005. In this time we released two albums: Things to Come in 2000 (featuring OHM's Doug Ferguson, who left Earth in 2002, on synths and keys) and Volume-Obliteration-Transcendence in 2004 (both available from Life Is Abuse records- http://www.lifeisabuse.com), did 1 1/2 tours, performed at ProgDay 2001, played with countless incredible bands, met and worked with heros and influences, and celebrated Chaos in all Her forms.
Jon Teague and Tommy Atkins are currently working with their new band The Great Tyrant with old friend Daron Beck
