The Great Imperial Yo-yo Jiggery Pokery

From the UK, Great Imperial Yo Yo are a six-piece consisting of guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, horns, winds, and vocals. their music is like Ozrics meet the Bonzo Dog Band. While the Bonzo comparison is probably seen in this band’s tremendous sense of humor, to my ears the clearest comparison is Gong. Yet the Yo Yo’s are no throw back to the 70’s. Their sound, though very much in the psych realm, is very fresh for the 90’s, with outstanding musicianship and well structured compositions.
