Yip Yip Coyote
Yip Yip Coyote was a UK indie rock band that was part of the 1980s cowpunk subgenre. The band's debut LP Fifi and singles in the UK were released by Illegal Records and I.R.S. Records. Producers on these records included Anne Dudley, Tony Mansfield, Jesse James and David Ruffy. The band's only US release was a song on the soundtrack for the film Bachelor Party. The band's sound blended rock, pop, New Wave, and synth-pop. BBC DJ John Peel gave the band a session on January 30, 1984.
The band's constant members were Fifi Russell on lead vocals and Carl Evans on guitar. Rhythm section members included Eg White. Bob Stanley calls the band part of one of the two "insular mid-eighties movements" "...which harked back to the spirit of '76", The Clash's beliefs, and the view that roots rock was path to "true grit".
