Hey I'm Davey.
I'm Dobby.
And we're Yip Deceiver.
We've toured with Turquoise Jeep, The Wild Moccasins, and we're about to go on tour with
Electric Six and all in support of our new album Medallius.
We kind of play a mixture of like indie, pop, R&B, punk, fun, dance music.
Electronic without being electronic and punk without being punk.
Well we opt for hardware over laptops and VSTs and stuff like that.
We use the analog synthesizers and the hardware sequencers and everything and it's uh.
It's a crutch but we love it.
You know we get to talk about it a lot to everybody that sees it and they go, "Why are
you doing that," and we're like, "Well it's because that's the fun stuff."
Our choice of gear does influence us a lot simply because of the limitations.
We work with things that you can't do an infinite amount of things with.
Like you don't have every option available to you.
You can't just be like, "Well I kind of like how it sounds right now but what if it sounded
like this completely other totally different synth that I don't own?"
It's like, nope that doesn't work.
If you can't get it out of that one then don't get it basically and it makes us have to work
for it a little bit more.
We get flack because people call us an electronic project but it's like we're really just a
band.
Since we don't use the VSTs and stuff we don't have the infinite options of things so we
get people going like, "So it sounds like they only have like four synts."
And if you look, we only have four synths.
It's our palette, that's what we work with and we're ok with it.
I grew up listening to a lot of punk music and then forayed into smoother R&B.
Teddy Riley, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis sort of stuff.
Yeah what did you like when you were a child.
Madonna, Prince, UTFO.
UTFO?
Really?
Yeah.
Nice that's good.
I like UTFO.
This is the best PA you could ever hope to buy.
It will not feedback.
I mean no matter the volume.
Like turn it up for me.
Turn it up.
Nothing.
No feedback.
That's one selling point.
Dobby what's another one?
Pocket PA.
Just roll it in and pull it out of your pocket.
I don't know if they trademarked the pocket PA name yet.
I think it sounded great.
We have an issue being an electronic band where low end is an obvious issue with our
performance.
Something this size that you can wheel into a club, it's basically what we have been looking
for the whole time.
I mean there is literally wheels on the back of it.
I know that sounds weird but that's a big selling point for me because I hate carrying
things.
It's surprisingly powerful and loud for the size of it.
You wouldn't expect something like this to be able to actually move air like it does.
I mean nothing against the house systems of many of the clubs of the United States and
beyond, but some reinforcement can be helpful sometimes.
For one, coming from the background of having a drummer and playing in bigger bands and
then being a two piece now.
Having something behind us that can push low end is a really nice thing and then in some
clubs that just don't have a sound system, we can do our own thing.
We do tour a lot and we have very limited space because we tour in a very small vehicle
and it is actually impressively small for what it is.
Anyone who's ever carried power amps around in racks or whatever, it can be a nightmare.
So having integrated power in this size is tremendous for what we do.
We are Yip Deceiver.
