Y Live at Big Hands

Musical shape-shifters Y have burst out of Peckham with a wonderfully weird and wonky sound that sticks two fingers up to genre constraints and redefines the very concept of chaos.

Their impossible-to-Google name materialised through happy accident, as vocalist/synth player Sophie Coppin recalls: "The [song] name 'Why' was coined before our band name Y.

A midi keyboard voice I found sounded like it was saying 'why', so I jokingly suggested we just run with that, and the rest is history."
