The Artist Formally Known as Yim Yames
From now on, on all of Olliges/James/Yames’ projects where his hair length reaches between his shoulder and the bottom lobe of his right ear, he will be officially credited as #?^ In a statement, Yames explained that “#?^ feels just right to me—You are where you’re at and I am here. Yim Yames is just so stiff and formal. It lacked whimsy.” The Yim Yames moniker will still be utilized for corporate gigs and when Olliges flies business class. Meanwhile, #?^ plans to tour with members of NIN, GnR and others as part of a new super group the Arena-Size Acronyms.
