The Yellow Brand Band was formed in 2010 by five talented musicians who share a common passion for making music and having fun while doing it. We'll give you the short bio -- and if you want the long one, you'll have to come to a show and buy one of the members a drink to ask for it.
Sebastian is the bass player that holds us all together. He met Angela while working at Steve's Music Store, then Jerry and Charlene in a failed attempt of a wedding band and finally hooked up with fellow "paisano" Antonio by answering an ad on craigslist. (on the musicians section, not the casual encounters for the record)
It took 3 long years to find the perfect mix, but we've got it! We have created a band with huge enthusiasm and energy to rock the Toronto Bar scene.
