Bio

While many claim to have seen the legendary yeti, far fewer claim to have heard it. Some might expect it to sound wild and feral, but others suggest that it may sound much more mysterious and beautiful. Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington band Search For Yeti are hedging their bets by covering all these sonic bases and more.

With all three members contributing songs and co-writes, the band draws from a deep range of influences to create a sound that achieves the difficult feat of being hugely atmospheric and diverse while also being hook laden. This is an act that captures people with their onstage energy — and gets them talking afterwards about the songs that they just heard.

The band will be releasing their much-anticipated debut album in November 2024, produced by the acclaimed Toby Lloyd of Tiny Triumph Studios. The album has already been preceded by two singles and accompanying videos - the moody and cinematic first single Red, and second single What You Mean To Me, a slice of pure power-pop.

A hugely successful crowd-funding campaign has helped to fund the album, which in addition to the usual streaming services, will also be released on CD and gatefold vinyl.

Alongside recording, the band has been gigging intensely, including playing previous festivals such as CubaDupa, touring with Auckland band Cowboy Dan, and sharing bills with local legends such as Julia Deans, Sure Boy, Ingrid & The Ministers, Dateline, and Odessa.

The band are looking forward to some national touring in early 2025 in support of the new album.

Band Members:
Luke Marlow (lead vocals, guitar)
Sean Barker (drums, backing vocals, percussion)
Vincent Waide (backing vocals, bass, guitar, lap steel, banjo, harmonica)
