We're ashamed of not having shared any information with you for AGES. It's just because there have been THINGS happening! DRASTIC changes have forced us to stay away from public spaces for so long.
So where do we start?
We'll take it right away: RONNY LEFT THE BAND!
It's true and we know it's hard to believe but that's just the way it is!
It was Ronny's decision as he wants to spend more time and dedication on other things in his life (rather than rocking and slacking off all time (like us)). We've shared incredibly fun moments with Ronny and are happy to still have him as "APPROVED YAKARI ADVISOR 1st GRADE". So cool!!!
What's the more news? Well, now that Ronny's bass is gone, we need substitute! And guess who's fillin' the gap! It's ROMANN (the guy behind the drums until now)! THAT'S RIGHT - he let his dream become reality and just swapped his drummer life for a brand new shiny BAD ASS BASS PLAYER LIFE!
DAMN RIGHT!
"But...", you'll be asking, "...then who's on the drums now?!"
Well first let us say that this is just astonishing. You'll never guess!! MAN, we've managed to get FABULOUS DOMI 'OPP onto teh Yakari-Trail! He smashed the drums for FUCKIN' AWESOME JOHN SARS for so long and does so now for them ULTRA Legendery Lightness!! Also, he's working on his former solo project, which now also has turned more into a band called DOOMENFELS. "MAN! HOW DOES HE HANDLE ALL THAT BANDS?" Well, you might not know that Domi is pure MUSIC WIZARDRY - and not only that. A GREAT fella too! SO HAPPY YOU JOINED, DOMI!
So that's a lot of news, ain't it? But here comes more:

We have to settle with these dates for until at least June. Roman & Riccardo are finishing their super-studies and need to roll back their music-loudness-knobs a bit till then. So if you're a booker of some kind and want us to crash your party, event, tête à tête dinner, or whatever, beginning from this years June, drop us a mail at yakarimusic@gmail.com
THAT'S ALL DUDES!
Have a SUPER FANTASTIC DAY!!!
