Original songwriting out of the nation's capital - Ottawa, ON.  Gavin & Jarrod met to form a songwriting endeavour known as 'Yes, Please & Thank You' - a name bestowed upon us by our beloved (first) drummer Will.  Since the bands inception back in late 2010 there have been a few linup changes which has allowed the band to work & rework songs, writing new ones and being forced to pursue old ventures with new enthusiasm.  After Will moved on to pursue a more guitar oriented musicianship, Gavin & Jarrod met a fellow songwriter Lucas whom offered to keep time and energy at local shows.  

2012 marked the start of a big year of playing live stages, as well as recording the band's first studio album, 'Pink Light'.  This record was the DIY sort of recording that had musicians from around the city bustling to offer support or advice on how to translate the sound everyone heard from the stage.  Through the persistence of Jarrod's desire to understand music production & engineering the album came to fruition mid 2013.  After many discarded mixes and masters littering up our CD collections, the record was deemed finished and made available for purchase Dec. 31st, 2013.  

Moving forward & then back again, the band acquired yet another drummer, Pat, who stood in for Lucas - enabling him to focus his time more on his own songwriting & performing projects.  Amidst all the chaos of cycling through different members, the core of the band remained as Gavin & Jarrod continued to write songs with Pat behind the skins.  Alas, life pushes us to keep moving forward and we head into 2013 losing yet another timekeeper to the cogs of careers and responsibility.  

The band will always be something held dear to all those involved, three years of extensive work to achieve a goal that has become bigger than any one or two people could have dreamed.  We aim to continue adding music to the lives of our friends, family & fans as we move through the years.

Thank you for listening & enriching our lives with these sounds that will forever be recorded!

~Yes, Please & Thank You~
