The Yellow Dress formed in the late fall of 2007, initially springing to life as Mr Stopmotion and the Yellow Dress. Their first three songs were about, respectively, a sad Dogfish Shark's quest for fulfillment, an invasive owl, and the tragic loss of San Francisco's Tatiana the tiger. Though they have moved on to less animal themed tracks, their sense of whimsy is no less healthy. While setting up a show in Oakland, a friend described their sound as Muppetcore. This has stuck.
The Yellow Dress consists of Dan Weiss (Vocals, Ukulele, guitar) and Jonathan Moyer (Lead guitar, vocals, bass), banjo, keyboard, audience assisted vocal horn, and/or accordion. They have a photo-theremin, but have yet to figure out how to best use it. In October of 2008 Mark Roquet was added to the line up as official drummer, though as of yet recordings show no evidence of this.
