YAY! Records

Bringing the fun back in pop!!!

About Me

It's time for things to happen! Something's got to give! And the YAY! label is going to do something about it. Do you remember when pop was fun? The YAY! label does! Based out of Oxnard, CA, the YAY! label is out to make a new name for the music of young and aspiring groups. A new pop is here to challenge the current conceptions and negative connotations of pop. The YAY! label is here to bring the fun back in pop!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/20/2007
Band Website: yaylabel.com
Band Members:
MARIA -Maria formed in 2003 in Oxnard. As the first 7" on the new YAY! label, MARIA released "Oh Victoria", backed with "I Remember What It Was To Feel" and "I Should Be Dead" in May 2006. As part of the YAY! Fanzine (YAY! 3), a new 5" is avaliable (April 2007): "I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts". The next 7", "Friends Forever" (YAY! 4), will come out May 2007. A full-length release is set for later this year on the new Part Time Punks label based out of Los Angeles.

Catwalk -Catwalk became a group during the summer of 2005, after previously being nothing more than a one-man-garage-band. Started by Nick Hessler sometime in 2004, the soon-to-be Catwalk was somewhat fortunate to see only a handful of line-up changes before their first release on Yay! Records. The group continues to release music via Yay! Records, the Internet, and performs throughout the surrounding areas of Oxnard,CA.

Pam and Teri -Yes, they really are twins, and yes they really are fabulous!! Pam and Teri Gartner come from Fillmore, on the eastern edge of Ventura County. Yes, they do have more than legal fireworks. Simple yet oh so sweet, Pam and Teri sing about their cat Lucy!! They have been playing occasionally since last year. Their debut 7" will be out on YAY! Records later this year.

Sea Lions -The newest addition to YAY! Records hails from the label’s headquarters, Oxnard, CA. Bringing a fondness for bittersweet twee pop, Sea Lions are fronted by Adrian Pillado. Working on what would become Sea Lions in early 2006, Pillado gathered a group by Spring 2007 that made their debut at Grady’s Record Refuge in Ventura. Their songs of youthful longing will be avaliable soon on YAY! Records.

The Tartans -This jangly, bicycle loving group is the first non-Ventura county group to join YAY! Full of soul and full of FUN, their first 7" will be out next year. Based out of LA, we are simply thrilled to have them aboard YAY! Records and we are sure you will be as well. They have all you could ever ask for: boy-girl vocals, 6 and 12 string guitars, organs, a rickenbacker bass, and glockenspiel!!
