Template:InfoboxCharacterYoko & the Gold Bazookas is a band in Splatoon 3. One of their songs, Ska-BLAM, plays in the announcement trailer for Sizzle Season 2023. Their lineup consists of a trumpet (Yoko), trombone, and baritone saxophone, accompanied by a full rhythm section, as well as vocals.
The band is a side project of Yoko from Ink Theory.[1] The band was formed when Yoko joined a jam session in Splatsville to test her skills. After getting along with the other musicians in attendance, they quickly formed a seven-member group.[2]
Although the band officially has seven members, only three are visible on the album artwork.[2]
This also makes them the largest band in the Splatoon series.
The member on the left side of the album cover appears to be based on a blue-ringed octopus.
Etymology
Yoko is a trumpet player who was a member of Ink Theory in Splatoon 2. The Gold Bazookas are probably a reference to the brass instruments played in the songs, and the "x and the y" naming format is common among popular ska bands.
