DON'T PUT OUT is a small homage (in the form of unauthorized cover songs) to the film Ladies And Gentlemen the Fabulous Stains, a 1981 film by Lou Adler about a fictional all-girl punk band called The Stains. The message of the film, and YACHT's single: "Don't be an old man in a young girls' world."

Side A: YACHT - Waste Of Time
Side B: Suzi Corpso with YACHT - Professionals

Stream "Waste Of Time" on MySpace here: http://www.myspace.com/yacht

"Waste Of Time" and "Professionals" are songs originally performed by The Stains. In DON'T PUT OUT, "Waste Of Time" is re-imagined as an apathetic bubblegum disco track, and "Professionals," sung by Suzi Corpso with three-chord guitar backing by Claire L. Evans, as the sludgy protest song it was perhaps always meant to be.

Suzi Corpso is longtime YACHT collaborator, the artist Rebecca Carlisle-Healy, sometimes known as RGB by RCH. Carlisle-Healy has recently finished Arrive Maris En Ronde, a beautiful science fiction film which stars YACHT's Claire L. Evans as a robot from the future named LITH.

Arrive Maris En Ronde can be seen here: http://vimeo.com/4402032

DON'T PUT OUT will be released on Marriage Records on June 16th, limited to 1,000 copies worldwide, with infinite digital copies.

Marriage Records can be found at: www.marriagerecs.com

A dub version of "Waste of Time" and a remix by Hedford Vachal will be featured on the next YACHT 12" single on DFA Records.

Hedford Vachal are Brad Vachal and Eric Hedford, two bearded colossi of the Portland, Oregon music scene; one a founding father of the dance scene in the Pacific Northwest, and the other an original member of the Dandy Warhols.

You may have noticed a "recent" obsession with Triangles not only in our visual output, but in the work of many contemporary artists. This is no coincidence. We've been distributing literature on triangles at our shows worldwide for some time now, but we'd like to reach out to you, MySpace, and offer up a complimentary primer on Triangles that you can download or view right here.

This is by no means a thorough document on Triangles, so please do research on your own!

We regret to announce that we have to cancel our upcoming performance at The Roxy this Sunday. Irreconcilable creative differences with our new touring member and third vertex, Adam Forkner, have triggered the need for intensive internal reorganization. YACHT will return to Los Angeles and play The Roxy in the near future. We apologize for any trouble this may have caused you. If you have any more questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us as trust@teamyacht.com.
