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.

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"

maker for TRIO and ALPHAVILLE. He gives his voice for a
GRID's track in 1992.
