About Me


Next Show:
In an era when hearts and souls are consumer goods and technology is intimate, Little Yellow Perfect launches its critique: "Simple Devices," recorded by Karl Derfler (Tom Waits, No Doubt, Talking Heads, the Who), and mixed by Boone Spooner (Alanis Morissette, The Cardigans, Vanessa Carlton). "Simple Devices" melds late-night inspiration and childhood radio obsessions (Roxy Music, The Cars, The Fixx, Duran Duran, U2), and is distributed in North America through Wax Orchard Records.
The band's previous record, the "This City and All of the Cities" EP, received national airplay as well as being spun on San Francisco radio icon Live105. Little Yellow Perfect has proven to be a podcaster's favorite, and both of the band’s releases are currently available on iTunes.com, among various other digital distributors.
Singer/keyboardist Cris Logan met guitarist Jason Bridges in a Michigan music theory class, where they quickly convinced each other that they had nothing more to learn. Bassist "the Sound" (provenance unknown) met drummer Mike Fritz at the Bike Messenger World Championships in San Francisco. The two halves of the band fused through their mutual hatred of cover bands and love of matinee pricing.
Post-punk revivalists? Analog synth rockers, or rabble-rousers armed with keyboards? Whatever answer you get, Little Yellow Perfect is a San Franciscan indie rock band taking their name from a Stones song and their orders from no one.
Make sure you leave your rating and comments on the Live105 iMeem Group page to help us climb the charts and impress on the powers that be that we deserve airplay!

Sounds Like: "Congratulations to Little Yellow Perfect, which was invited to play the main stages at the Folsom Street Fair today and the Castro Street Fair on Oct. 7. It's not surprising: The band's latest album, "Simple Devices," is that good. " --Bill Picture, San Francisco Chronicle

"Equal parts incredibly infectious dance-rock and stadium-ready hooks, LYP's debut album is as strong a statement lyrically as it is musically, railing against consumer culture. At times things are deliberately reminiscent of classic 80s sounds by bands like The Fixx or Duran Duran, but the personalities of the four members always shines through. The song writing is darkly luminous, while Cris Logan's voice is filled with longing and almost-desperation." --Rasputin Recommends

"Singer Chris Logan provides much of the sound structure by way of his slightly strained vocals with hints of both Bono and Liam Gallagher, but a little of something new as well." --Adam Greenberg, Billboard.com (AMG), April 2007

"It's hard to keep your feet from tapping during 'Television' -- the use of the guitar, though seemingly scratchy, helps carry the song to the very last beat, making it easy to envision hearing it on heavy rotation at the hipster clubs very soon." -- Allison Bloch, West Coast Performer, March 2007

"The most pleasing surprise of all comes in the album's exceptional closer, 'Twilight ... and What's to Come' which rocks like a lost gem of the early '90's, completing the satisfying crescendo that is Simple Devices." -- Gabrielle Goodbar, the Owl Mag, Feb 2007

"Their polished pop-rock -- with tasteful punk and hard rock influences -- is tight and radio-ready.... Both 'Satellites' and 'Used as Directed,' or perhaps something from their upcoming full-length, could conceivably become a modern rock radio hit across the country. Don't be surprised to see a major label snatch up these guys up soon from the tiny Ruler Records." -- Nate Seltenrich, Zero Magazine, April 2006

"Bay Area dance-rock band Little Yellow Perfect employs the same heady mix of grit and glitter as the Killers and Queens of the Stone Age to get indie types going." --Bill Picture, San Francisco Chronicle
