Gustafer Yellowgold is a freshly original multimedia project utilizing animated illustrations paired with catchy, original pop tunes geared towards family and kids, with a surprisingly strong crossover appeal to adult audiences. It is one of the first signings the newly formed family imprint Little Monster Records, alongside Apples In Stereo front man Robert Schneider and Medeski Martin and Wood. Gustafer Yellowgold's first release, Wide Wild World will be available exclusively through Barnes and Noble as a special DVD/CD set on March 27, 2007.
On tour and performing since its creation in 2005, Gustafer Yellowgold has been the wild-card opening act for established bands such as The Polyphonic Spree and Wilco as well as headlining children's theaters across the U.S., England, Seoul and Korea.
Gustafer was created by illustrator/songwriter Morgan Taylor. The show is performed by Morgan solo or with a live band while the moving images are cast in unison on a large screen as a backdrop. Taylor is humorous as the event's narrator, interacting with his often verbally inquisitive audiences.
