Yip-Yip is Brian Esser and Jason Temple, two 25
year-old "writhing costumed beanpoles" from Orlando,
Florida. They have been making music together since
they formed in 2001. They have also been roommates for
much of this time, annoying neighbors in apartments
until moving into "The Reptile House" in 2004. The
house provides Yip-Yip with the space they need to
continue making all of their music, recordings, art,
videos, and costumes at home. Yip-Yip started as a
recording project and has, in its six years, resulted
in two self-released full-length albums and an EP, two
handmade art zine/CD singles, the
CD-R-turned-international-release Pro-Twelve Thinker,
and two more "real" releases, In The Reptile House and
the upcoming Two Kings Of The Same Kingdom. They
started playing live shows in 2003 and since then have
experimented with incorporating everything from videos
and stobe lights to rollerskates and goodie bags. At
the beginning, they played scattered shows around
Florida with friends and soon after began opening
shows for various touring acts. A year or so of this
led to their first tour in 2004, after which they've
done eight tours with two more planned before the end
of 2007. During this time, they have played nearly 300
shows, played with many of their favorite bands, made
a lot of great friends, and seen most of the United
States and parts of Canada (after they served their
one year ban from Canada in 2005). This year, Yip-Yip
has stayed busy making new music, trying to push their
sound into new musical territories. Their live show is
a constantly growing, portable multimedia event,
including costumes, video projections, and matching
backdrops with every hand and foot being used to play
the music on various analog synthesizers, an organ, a
saxophone, cymbals, and effects.
