A day later, Yasuko was shot out of the whale's blowhole, landing safe on the deck of the yacht, still at sea. She spoke of bizzare goings on withing the whale's gut...Progressive, avant-experimentalism, hardcore, ambience, metal, and a few less savory things all being digested together to form a racket the likes of which had never been heard. Days passed and Chiller Whale was nowhere to be found. The Skin Graft crew began to lose hope of ever seeing their pals again, until just moments before the search was to be called off, Chiller Whale appeared at the ship's bow! He opened his mighty jaws to reveal the castaways, stronger than before, shoes shined and united under the moniker Yona-Kit (Jonah-Whale). They : stepped out and rejoined the Skin Graft crew. "I've got it all on tape!" exclaimed Steve.
Null and O'Rourke have collaborated before, both in the US and Japan. Their guitar duets and improvisations were documented previously on their legendary CD "New Kind Of Water." Yona-Kit is a different kind of animal - (guitars, electric bass, vocals, drums) - a rock band. The members of the international lineup have played in (or performed with) diverse outfits including Brise-Glace, Zeni Geva, Dazzling Killmen, Gastr del Sol, The Red Krayola, ANP, The Frogs, Cheer Accident, Smog, Illusion of Safety, Faust, YBO 2, Tiny Tim (yes, THE Tiny Tim), The Denison/Kimball Trio, Guided By Voices, and You Fantastic to name a few. Null and O'Rourke are also highly prolific solo artists. Adventurous and fun, Yona-Kit is a whale of a record!
