The Yellowjackets began performing in friends' basements. The bassist used to listen to radio constantly as a child. The drummer wanted to start a group since he was in high school. The members of The Yellowjackets were friends in high school. The group was influenced by Earth, Wind, and Fire.

The Yellowjackets was offered a record contract after performing at at City, a local club. The band regularly played at Omen before making it to the big time. The Yellowjackets were still not sure if they would make it after getting a record. They had heard too many stories and knew that they were in no position to expect anything. The band continues to play large venues, but still enjoys playing in smaller clubs on occasion.

The Yellowjackets knew they had finally made it in 1985, after Deborah Emerson started the group’s first fan club. While the club started out small after the organizer heard the band play at a small club in Los Angeles, the club grew leaps and bounds after the group’s first national tour.

The Yellowjackets's latest record is the group's tenth album. The group may have recently completed their latest album, but they are plotting their next move already. The Yellowjackets plans to spend some time apart after the tour, to allow the band members to rest after a long tour.
