History

Yerba's first gig was in Wigan at Club Nirvana in October 2006 and was a sell out. The Band toured continuously from 2007 through to September 2009 before parting ways due to issues with management/record label.

Reformation
In January 2011 Yerba played a one off comeback gig at Club Nirvana (home of their debut show).
