About Yetis
Yetis were an indie alternative band from Wollongong, Australia. The band was formed by brothers Cameron (vocals/guitar/bass, formerly of Epitomes) and Curtis (vocals/bass/guitar/banjo) Smith, with the line-up originally being completed by multi-instrumentalist Dave Muratore (formerly of Assai) and drummer Tom Wolfe (Phebe Starr); the latter of whom left the band in 2012 and rejoined in 2014 before departing again in 2015. Cameron and Curtis' younger sister, Jenna (vocals/violin), would often join the band live, before becoming a full-time member in 2012. The Smith brothers and Muratore were also founding members of emotive post-hardcore band Mowgli. Their debut EP Lightmares was released online in March 2011. This was followed up by another EP, Hear Me Now, in October 2012. In 2013, the band added bassist Rhys Stamnas and drummer Ellis Birkby as full-time members. Birkby left the band in 2014; following the release of the single "Kind Eyes." The band announced their split in April 2015.
