[@daverussellmpls]

This band is incredible. Thanks, Lou, for filming and posting this!

[@LouSmith]

Thanks so much Dave. I have nothing but love for this band. They’re so good. 😊

[@pt1107]

First O now Y

[@LouSmith]

Haha. OY! This is Y’s third name too.

[@bennyg76]

Thank you Lou. Y are a wild ride and i like it

[@LouSmith]

Yay! Glad to hear it.

[@rooinns]

Love them

[@LouSmith]

Yup! Me too.

[@saffkin]

wow! great musicians! great music!

[@LouSmith]

Addictive too!

[@valouckc1466]

Belle découverte. Merci

[@LouSmith]

Merci. Oui, très belle.

[@alexsampson2630]

Awesome! Has this band released any music? Would love to here more.

[@LouSmith]

There is one release so far ytheband.bandcamp.com/track/y Adam (on mostly guitar here) also plays guitar with Fat White Family, as has the drummer, Fells, so have been busy touring with them recently, but every time they hit the stage, they have new songs, or have reworked old ones to get them sounding super tight, and Sophie is growing in confidence as a singer. I'd love to see them do well.

[@willyoufade]

the best

[@LouSmith]

You know it. Were you at that one?

[@willyoufade]

@@LouSmithunfortunately not, i’m only 17 so i’m only ever at events that i’m photographing or my friends are playing and i get there early, nasos is too good at his job to let me slip through the cracks unfortunately, 3 more months!

[@LouSmith]

@willyoufade i didn’t even think about that. Fair play, you still get to see plenty. Three months indeed.

[@CarloRoberto-qs7oi]

Great Proggy sound - they'd be on Vertigo, the Dawn Label or Deram Nova if it was 1970 xx

[@LouSmith]

Haha. If only. I’d be seven in 1970 They are great though.

[@CarloRoberto-qs7oi]

I think we are the same age or thereabouts(!) I was down the Windmill last night to see German synth outfit - Zimmer90 - very good.

[@LouSmith]

@@CarloRoberto-qs7oi Nice. I'll keep an ear out for them. I'm a '63 model. :)

[@CarloRoberto-qs7oi]

@@LouSmith I'm just a year older! Nice to know that our age group can still mix it with the kids in the hall. I feel an invisible glass barrier & the younger generation at gigs these days...

[@LouSmith]

@@CarloRoberto-qs7oi Yeah. I guess I forgot to grow old. I have a teenage daughter, and friends in all age ranges, but the times they are a changing, and fast, and people are polarising along all sorts of lines. That's why I love and cherish the music community around the Windmill, the George, and other grass roots venues, as it's very inclusive and supporting.

[@rocftcdenlaf]

Wow. Pretty solid sound, great material. Looking forward to see how all this... potential... with blow our minds as they develop. Tour ready, I'd say. I'm in love with Sophie, as I suspect most are. Hard to project stage prescence (UK spelling?) on a small stage, but she has a star quality (the good kind of star) about her.

[@LouSmith]

Yeah. They’re definitely ready to tour. Adam and Fells will be finishing up their current tour with Fat white family tonight, so maybe they’ll concentrate more on Y again after that. Sophie is wonderful, and brings glamorous slightly unhinged brilliance in her lyrics and delivery. Watch this space for the unfolding story.

[@DOGSPAWN]

Am I right in saying the bloke on sax is in Pyongyang too?

[@LouSmith]

You are right in saying that, yes. Harry. He’s got so good on sax these days. I have a Pyongyang video awaiting publication actually, pending possible name change.

[@DOGSPAWN]

@@LouSmith Ooh, lovely. Caught them last month at the Windmill. Formal Sppeedwear were playing that night too - you must try and record them the next time they’re in London !

[@LouSmith]

@DOGSPAWN thanks for the tip. I wonder where I was that night. I usually go to see Y at the Windmill wherever possible.
