Gig went well. nothing intresting happening. very boring. hmmmmm.

05/08/2002
Very strange gig on saturday. The lack of a P.A. meant that Chris and Loyd couldnt sing, and the lack of Spare Tong meant that Frog, Rich, Joey and Tom had to play for 3 hours.

29/07/2002
Two attic gigs later and the yam are happy again.

18/07/2002
Guess what happened last night at the charlotte?? Another exploding bass amp. The gig was pretty crap as well. Could this be the end of the yam?

Once again we forgot to tell people about the gig last night.
It went ok though, except for Chris and Joey having some painful tooth and shoulder antics.

05/04/2002
Last tuesday we had another gig which was arranged the day before.
Once again Rich broke a string, and joey played "I like minges" for the first time live. The CD is ready, but needs to be copied.

17/03/2002
Did anyone hear a large "pop" yesterday???. That was the sound of the band pulling their fingers out their arses and recording a cd!!!!
Only four of the planned seven tracks are on it, but it sounds ok.
Now all we need are gigs to sell it at.

02/03/2002

still no sign of the Tape (or a cd).

01/01/2002
Happy new year (unless your doctor has told you this is your last year to live). A goodish gig last night.
We are now trying to record a tape because a cd is to complicated.

24/12/2001
Multiple sorrys for canceling the gig yesterday.
might be playing on new years eve.
Any sign of the cd??? no.

15/12/2001
Last night was Rich and Loyd`s first gig.
Rich broke a string and Joe`s pedal broke, but it went ok.
still no sign of the cd

03/12/2001
The wyvern gig was canceled due to someone else's fault.
This caused the yam massive to get pissed.

Casualties: 1 broken fist    (rich)
            2 vomits         (joey and froggy)
 

23/11/2001
Three more gigs. We've now got an MC. Still no sign of the cd.

11/09/2001
First gig with five people onstage. shame it was for only one song.
We will now attempt to record a cd.
probably.

27/08/2001
Did anyone see us at the lamplighters today?????? No, because we didn't play.

06/08/2001
The yam has expanded!!!! we now have another guitarist.
Unfortunately he probably wont have learnt the songs by the next gig.

18/07/2001
Are we really a band or just a comedy act???.
Cheers to the seven people who came last night.

11/07/2001
We have a guest book. Dunno if it works. Dunno if anyone will use it. Dunno anything.

23/06/2001
The gig at the lamplighters was crap!!!!!!. We apologize to anyone who seen us that night, and we promise we wont get mashed onstage again

31/05/2001
Played the gig at the collage last night and Froggy blew up another amp. This now takes our damaged equipment list up to four bass amps and a mixing desk.

04/05/2001
We've all got hangovers from the unfeasibly drunk gig last night. Lots of thanks to everyone who bought us drinks.

28/04/2001
We've just found out that a YAM YAM is a person from Birmingham. The name is just a coincident. We like Brummies. Honest.
