Yoko Pwno

Edinburgh based Yoko Pwno present an exciting new take on the music of their native Scotland.

Fronted by the twin fiddles of whisky-drenched folk maestro Lewis and classically trained RCS graduate Lissa, their playing has developed to mix traditional Scottish styles with wails, screeches and effect laden soundscapes reminiscent of dub reggae.

At the back of the stage, drummer Ali and producer Calum are equally at home referencing contemporary acts like Disclosure and Red Snapper as they are Scottish artists like Martyn Bennett and Shooglenifty.

They are currently recording their debut album with producer Iain Copeland (The Peatbog Faeries, Sketch), with release on Skye Records planned for later in 2018.

"An unbelievable tour de force on stage, a musical paradigm shift... trippy, diverse, innovative, unique and oozing raw natural talent and creativity. Easily one of the best bands around today!"

"Getting funky with a fiddle and electronic beats not dissimilar to Alabama 3’s eclectic acid drum‘n’bass. As purple and white lights flash they keep a disparate audience hooked."
