​Prepare to embark on an oblique adventure through an uncharted musical universe, where frivolity and absurdism reign supreme. It's Yam On! Formerly known as Lard Dog & The Band of Shy, the group has captivated global audiences (Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and the Strawberry Festival in China), with a unique blend of eccentric lyrics and multi-media performances, garnering comparisons to legendary acts such as Devo, They Might Be Giants, and the B52's. In 2020, lead singer and outsider artist Steven Erdman embarked on a transformative journey during the pandemic, immersing himself in the whimsical world of yams—and built The Yamatorium art installation in an underground bunker in West Philadelphia. Emerging with a new artistic identity, Erdman has collaborated with star talents, including La La Brooks (The Crystals), Marshall Allen (Sun Ra Arkestra), Rebecca Pitcher (Phantom of the Opera), Sonia De Los Santos (Latin Grammy Nominee), The Villalobos Brothers (Carnegie Hall/Lincoln Center), and Allyson Briggs (Fleur Seule). Feed the Meter of Love delivers an auditory adventure that is sure to captivate listeners of any age—from kids swept away by whimsical wordplay (yes, there's a song about a paperclip!) to adults hooked by catchy melodies and clever arrangements— anyone can experience the experience that is Yam On!
