Formed 10 years ago in Manhattan's legendary CBGB club, and taking their name from the toughest gang to prowl the streets of old New York, The Wiyos fuse the vintage sounds of early 20th century Americana with more contemporary punk attitudes. Mixing grungy harp, crazed steel guitar, rockabilly bass, human beat box, New Orleans rhythms and three-part harmonies, the band's vaudevillian live shows have become something of a phenomena - exuberant, thrilling, intense and filled to the brim with stunning instrumental prowess. Following 14 weeks spent in the Americana Chart top 20 for their album 'Broken Land Bell', The Wiyos were handpicked to perform alongside Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp on Bob Dylan's massive US stadium tour, as well as featuring prominently in the BBC's Folk Americana documentary series with timeless compositions that have universal appeal.
