HISTORY OF FRED YUKKA Imagine the scene, a roaring fire, a ten pack of stubbies, two guitars and an idea. Just an idea of leather trousers and dancing girls. Fred Yukka was born (although then un-named) in the forests of New South Wales, Australia in December 2000.

Overlooking Bondi Beach, Sydney, strings were broken as lesbian neighbours sat in awe of the beginnings of Drive On Amber. The cogs of the hit-producing machine had begun to turn.

Later across the pond, back to the darker, colder realities of life in Sheffield, the material was gathered and all that was once an idea became an irresistible dream. An orgy of music was arranged to air the Yukka creation in a dynamic forum of music. In March 2002, Wal began his quest to become the greatest drummer never to own a drum kit, and Paul looked to develop his male gigolo attitude into the forefront of a fresh, new and individual rock band.

Although widely acclaimed, a gig at the Deepend, Sheffield in June 2002, paved the way for a true and powerful guitarist. Luckily, as a witness to an accident involving a refuse van, Fred Yukka was introduced to Chris and the 3 sides of the Fred Yukka equilateral triangle were forged.

The busy schedule for 2003 has consolidated Fred Yukka as an adaptive and quirky rock band, the likes of which you will never have had the pleasure to witness before.
