Yeti

(1) Yeti is a British rock band fronted by bass player John Hassall, formerly of The Libertines. The group's highest accomplishments include opening for Oasis. Hassall met bassist Brendan Kersey, lead guitarist Andy Deian Jung, and guitarist Harmony Williams through mutual friends. The line-up was completed after drummer Graham Blacow joined. Hassall writes most of Yeti's songs, but Williams has also penned several, and sings lead on his own songs. The band plays acoustic rock with a bluesy undertone and strong harmonies. Influences include The La's, Bob Dylan and The Beatles. Their debut single "Never Lose Your Sense of Wonder" was released in March 2005 and reached number 36 in the British charts.

(3)YETI formed in August of '98 as a merger of two bands. The first group, already named Yeti, consisted of Tommy Atkins on bass, Jon Teague on drums, Eric Harris on guitar, as well as another guitarist. The second, Est Mort, was a loosly organized group occasionally getting together on weekends with Atkins, Teague, and Doug Ferguson on keyboards. When the original Yeti lost it's lead guitarist, Ferguson was asked to come in for trial practice. After countless live shows, the studio LP "Things to Come" and several live Cds, Ferguson left this earth on February, 23, 2002. Faced with a serious creative and moral dilemma Atkins, Harris, and Teague opted to continue as a trio, with Atkins and Teague taking over keyboard responsibilities. YETI continues to offer a heavier music combining the darker elements of jazz and rock forms (4) Yeti is also an American black/death metal band based out of Florida consisting of Al Nunn on guitar, Mike Curry on guitar, Eric Avant on keys and vocals, Jonathon Montgomery on bass, and Scott Nunn on the drums. They have released one full-length (Niflheim), an EP (Yeti) and a live DVD. They have changed their name to Among The Dead http://www.myspace.com/theyeti (5) Yeti, metal, Album: Trees on Fire With Songs of Blood, 2010 (6) Yeti consists of Omar Khouri, Russell Lichter and Rob LaMorgese. Rob and Russ met at college in Boston in the late nineties. Rob and Russ met Omar in Los Angeles after the turn of the century. The three hit it off nicely and decided to try jamming together. While their styles were a bit different, they seemed to mesh well. Most of the music was recorded at Omar's apartment in summer. It was during the recording sessions that their mutual love of verses was discovered. Screw choruses. They're cheap and tawdry. Omar and Russ wrote the majority of the music, but Rob kicked in a bit here or there. I think there was even a whole bass line he wrote. It was so good, he couldn't play it. Omar did. Or Russ. He can't remember. Omar and Rob did the singing. They usually wrote the lyrics they sang, but occasionally backed the other one. This worked out well for them as they have lovely singing voices. http://www.myspace.com/yetipage (7) Yeti is a French band led by Holland-born Jetty Swart, who plays accordion and sings (and sometimes performs solo under the name Yeti); other band members are Francois Fava (saxophone & flute), Alain Dumont (bass) and Luc Pallier (drums). http://www.myspace.com/yetila http://lecrideyeti.free.fr/
