YELLO
is a new wave and synth-pop swiss band created in 1978 in Zurich by
DIETER MEIER (voice, born on 04/03/1945 in Zurich, son of a banker),
BORIS BLANK (synths, born on 15/01/1953 in Switzerland), CARLOS PERON
(synths/sounds effects, born in Zurich) et WALTER KEISER (drums).
All
starts in 1967. BORIS borrows a tape recorder from one of his friends.
He begins to compose radiophonic pieces. WALTER leaves YELLO to join
PHIL CARMEN. It will the same thing for CARLOS PERON to quit YELLO in
1984 for a solo career.

most international hit will be "THE RACE" (#1 in South Africa, #4 in Germany, #6 in
Austria, #7 in the UK, #8 in Switzerland and Ireland, and #20 in the
Netherlands). In the USA, YELLO become well-known with "OH YEAH"
(#47 in Germany and #51 in the USA), include in severals soundtracks
like «The secret of my success» or «Ferris Bueller's day off». The
Netherlands gives "I LOVE YOU" (n°7 in Holland) an ovation.
DIETER is also a video maker for TRIO and ALPHAVILLE. He gives his
voice for a GRID's track in 1992.
