Yak ATTACK IS A LIVE ELECTRONICA POWER TRIO FROM PORTLAND, Oregon.
Founded in 2013, the band has experienced steady growth over the past
few years and has been building buzz on the strength of its live shows
and the instant connection its music makes with new listeners. The
group's music is best described as "organic electronica", using
skillful playing, live loops, and tightly constructed songs combined
with raw improvisation to build high-energy and uplifting music from
scratch, where every note is played and recorded live. The band draws
on influences from a wide spectrum of electronica, such as house, drum
and bass, and breakbeat, along with elements of jam, funk, and jazz.
The result is a live show that is musically sophisticated but widely
accessible, with a diverse and engaged fanbase that travels to out of
town shows and festivals to witness the band's continually evolving
sound.Yak Attack has been selling out local and regional shows and has
developed a reputation as "the region's go to late night act" in the
summer festival and afterparty circuit. Fresh off a round of touring
supporting jamtronica heavyweights STS9 and Sunsquabi, the band has
also shared the stage with established or up-and-coming acts such as
Fruition, Turkuaz, TAUK, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and The Magic
Beans. After releasing "Safety Third" on Ropeadope records in 2018,
the band is currently recording their fourth full-length album, and
about to embark on a packed festival schedule including national
events such as Camp Bisco and Jazzfest. Watch for Yak Attack to bring
its unique dance party to a venue near you.
