Yoko Pwno are a Celtic/Techno crossover band from Edinburgh. The brainchild of 4 young players who met on the cities' diverse music scene, they feature the talents of a classically trained wedding singer (Lissa), a fiddle playing acrobat (Lewis), a techno-loving dance music producer (Calum) and a self confessed 'gear nerd' drummer (Ali).
They bonded over a shared love of whisky, wild places and raves in the woods. Their music is a genre violating mixture of fiddles, drums, reels, basslines and breakbeats, and has been compared to 'Underworld playing a ceilidh... on Mars'.
Their influences include traditional acts like fellow Scots Shooglenifty and Martyn Bennett through to dance/electronic groups like Daft Punk, The Prodigy and Boards of Canada.
Yoko Pwno are currently recording their debut album with producer Iain Copeland (Sketch, The Peatbog Faeries). It will be released on Skye Records in Spring 2019.
