YACHT
The pefect digital ear candy with those with an electronic sweet tooth.

Editor's Note: YACHT will be playing Friday, October 30 at Yuyintang with local bands Resist, Resist and Youth and the Destroyer. The show starts and 9pm and costs RMB 50 at the door.

YACHT is coming. Yes, we are excited and you should be too.

This electronic duo is known for entertaining live sets and a sound that has evolved from sonic rainbows and bunny rabbits to esoteric expressions of delight. If you know what that means, then you’re already a fan. We do know this music will make just about anyone dance.

Recently we caught up with YACHT’s Jona and Claire for an interview like no other -- word association. They might be talented on stage, but how can they do when limited to one word off stage?

For those who still have yet to attain enlightenment, we will follow each set of word associations with our completely unscientific analysis.
