Yukon Blonde are armed with a collection of songs written in the back of the van, in venue parking lots and an icebox of a rehearsal space. Yukon Blonde went into the studio in the summer of 2009 to record their first album - which was recently released in both Canada and USA by Bumstead Records. While on tour with Jon-Rae Fletcher in the summer of 2008, the band - then known as Alphababy - realized that they needed a new change of pace. Taking some of the ideas conceived on the tour, they locked themselves away for half a year to write new songs in a freezing cold jam space by the Okanagan Lake. It was around this time that they partnered with long-time friend Nick Bernal of Nevado Records and began working towards releasing an album.
