小简介

Yello是一支来自瑞士的电子乐队。走的是电子舞曲的摇滚路线。

乐队的历史要追溯到1977年。那时Boris Bland和Carlos Peron初次相识。他们都在一家汽车实验室录制噪音测试。怀着对音乐的共同追求，他们开始把各种声音混和进音乐里面。Yello的雏形初现。现在他们只需要一个主唱。Dieter Meier被Boris看中了。那时Dieter在一个叫The Assholes的乐团唱歌。Yello乐队就这样诞生了。他们之所以做音乐，完全出自于对音乐的喜好和偏爱。虽然也如同同时期的年轻人一样，他们的作品中也折射出迷茫和失落，但却又多了几分从容。

Dieter Meier是乐队的灵魂人物，1945年生于苏黎士，银行家的儿子。是个多才多艺的艺术家，担任乐队的作词和主音。他曾写过小说，执导过电影，他导演的MTV "Desire"曾获1986年戛纳电影节最佳录影带大奖。

The ambitious Swiss electronic duo Yello comprised vocalist/conceptualist Dieter Meier — a millionaire industrialist, professional gambler, and member of Switzerlands national golf team — and composer/arranger Boris Blank. Meier, a former solo artist who also spent time with the group Fresh Colour, began collaborating with Blank in 1979, and the duo bowed with the single I.T. Splash. After signing with the Residents label, Ralph Records, Yello issued their 1980 debut LP, Solid Pleasure, which spawned the dance hit Bostitch.

With 1981s Claro Que Si, Yello made its first forays into music video; their clip for the single Pinball Cha Cha, directed by Meier, garnered considerable acclaim and in 1985 was selected as one of 32 works included in the Museum of Modern Arts Music Video Exhibition. Visual accompaniment remained a pivotal component of the duos work after they signed to Elektra in 1983 for the LP You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess, as the videos for I Love You and Lost and Found received heavy airplay on MTV.

1985s Stella proved to be Yellos commercial breakthrough: while the singles and videos Desire and Vicious Games found success upon their initial release, the duo enjoyed a delayed hit with the album track Oh Yeah, which reached the U.S. singles chart after being prominently featured in the films Ferris Buellers Day Off and The Secret of My Success. After the remix project 1980-1985: The New Mix in Go, Yello recruited diva Shirley Bassey and ex-Associate Billy McKenzie for 1987s One Second.

Despite the success of 1988s Flag, which contained the international hit The Race, over the course of the next several years Yello grew increasingly involved with film projects: after scoring the comedy Nuns on the Run, Meier directed his own feature, 1990s Snowball. In 1991, the duo resurfaced with Baby, followed three years later by Zebra. 1995s Hands on Yello compiled reinterpretations of the groups songs by the likes of Moby, the Orb, and the Grid, while Pocket Universe, a collection of new material, appeared in 1997.
