Follow these 4 kids in 2009

Well, guys and girls, the new year is here. We've almost made it through whatever you call the current decade, and thus far the state of our music is strong.

Here's a little recap of The Yes Way in 2008:

• We recorded not one but TWO EP's, the most recent of which, Who's Better Than You?, was released on Dec. 12th at Public Assembly in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
• We played venues big and small, from the Central Park Bandshell to Trash Bar to Rockwood Music Hall (several times).
• We practiced incessently, honing our skills, our dynamic, our musical appreciation, our sound, and our trajectory.
• We partied. Hard. Seriously. We're hurting right now.
• We saw amazing live shows and festivals (All Points West, anyone??)
• We fought, we loved, we bickered, we ate and drank and vomited it back up, we cursed and smoked, we skinned our knees and broke our wrists, we blew our minds all over the dining room table, and we still managed to find time to sit down and breathe for a minute or two.

Yes, all in all it actually was a pretty good year, even though I tend to think that there ought to be at least one "Top Ten Reasons 2008 Totally Blew" list out there to balance the Best Of lists.

Looking out toward the future, we're already getting antsy in our pantsy about how 2009 is shaping up. Here are some things already on our plate:

• We're playing Mercury Lounge on January 30th! Check out www.myspace.com/theyesway for details.
• We're gonna be hitting up the studio again (as soon as we stockpile some cash) to record the songs that we're constantly writing.
• A short tour is definitely in the works.
• We wanna get signed. Obviously.
• We are looking for a manager. If you're interested, hit us up. We've got a lot of potential to offer, and we're all ears.
• There's preliminary talks in the works for a Yes Way music video. More on that as details unfurl.

The thing we're most excited about, jutting far above the rest of all that shit, is continuing to put out creative, meaningful music. That's why we're doing this.

We hope you'll keep your eye on us.

Regards,

The Yes Way
