The Yule Logs: The Hardest Working Band in Snow Business!

The Yule Logs: The Hardest Working Band in Snow Business!
Love it or hate it, holiday music is inescapable come December. Every year it’s the same story. Holiday music is blasting everywhere: in restaurants, malls and shops, elevators, on the radio and on telephone hold lines. God forbid you have a retail job where you’re forced to endure eight hours of eye-gouging holiday “classics” while sporting a smile and saying, “Happy holidays!” to every son of a bitch you have to ring up. This season, do everyone a favor and throw on the new record Walked With a Reindeer from Chico, Calif.’s four-piece Christmas and Hanukkah rock ‘n roll band The Yule Logs! The Logs blend original holiday tunes, tastefully reworked holiday standards and obscure gems from Christmas past. And trust us, it doesn’t suck like most of the holiday music you’ve been exposed to all this time. The Yule Logs rock four-part vocal harmonies on top of solid instrumentals, which are reminiscent of British Invasion, Motown and ‘60s California beach pop sounds, making listening an enjoyable experience for all. In fact, in their official bio, lead singer Marty Parker jokes, “We were sick of our parents absolutely hating our bands. We wanted to be in a band that our grandparents, as well as our friends, would actually want to listen to.” Mission accomplished. At Yule Logs shows you’ll find all walks of life rubbing elbows, dancing, smiling, singing along and having a great time. This season they’ll perform in the Sacramento area a few times: Nov. 27, 2010 at the Downtown Holiday Ice Rink, Dec. 4, 2010 at Woodstock’s Pizza in Davis, and Dec. 8, 2010 at Luigi’s Fungarden.
