The Yum Yum Tree

Atlanta’s Album 88 favs The Yum Yum Tree reformed in 2019, after a 10-year hiatus to bring you “stuck-in-your-head” catchy indie rock.

TYYT were college radio darlings from 1999-2008 and wrote the theme song for WRAS Album 88's Georgia Music Show. They were also on Creative Loafing’s Honor Roll for “Year End Best of” and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s “Best of Album Releases” in 2002. These old friends bring together a mixture of old favorites as well as new material.

Andy Gish (bass/lead singer) co-founded Kimono My House in March of 2020 as a way to stay connected to her community, after having to cancel several shows. Matt Harr (drums) and John McNicholas (guitar/vocals) round out The Yum Yum Tree.

In July 2025, they were invited to record at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios in Box England where they created a bunch of new songs. Andy calls the experience a 'watershed week where our only job was to be artist. "Among the beauty and the hush of Real World, I remembered why I started writing music in the first place."

The Yum Yum Tree has two full-length albums and two EPs. They are currently working to release all the new material they have recently recorded, 18 songs in total. The upcoming album will be titled "Turn Down the Noise," but also expect some EPs of new material. They released a music video of Ghosts which was filmed and recorded on location at Real World Studios.

Matt and Andy also had a side-project called Love Me Till My Heart Stops, which released an EP in 2014. John McNicholas also has some awesomely catchy music over at The Sunset District and has just finished a forthcoming album.

"We've been making music together in one form or another since 1999! We love doing it. We hope you like it too!"
