Made world-famous in Dunedin for their flamboyant appearance in the 1999 Robert Sarkies feature film Scarfies the Yams had a short but sharp musical career as Dunedin's answer to the Sex Pistols
Stylistically, the Yams effortlessly blended an eclectic mix of 80's glam metal, 70's punk, and 60's style surf music into a unique brand of "drunken guitar pop" which has subsequently inspired numerous other kiwi acts such as: The Bleeders, The Mint Chicks and many other "The..." bands.
There are some rumours of a reunion tour in late 2007.
NB: the reunion gig almost took place on 27th August 2007 at the Crown Hotel in Dunedin, when Drew, Dave and Hugh were present at a Skaface Claw and GHOTA gig. Unfortunately, all original members were far too intoxicated to remember the songs.
