The Yayhoos absolutely did not break up:-) I saw them do a show late last year, and they were road testing tunes from Dan's Out Of Mothballs release, as well as some of Eric's "new" tunes that have now found their way to Knucklehead. New Yayhoos album has been talked about and in the works for some time now, and it looks like for all of the "recording" talk, they finally got their shit together and got in the studio and got it done! Further Yayhoos info - they were talking at one point in 2002/2003 about putting out a live album, and even recorded two nights in NYC. You'll absolutely enjoy Knucklehead. It's a slam dunk in the same vein of the Yayhoos CD - just great from top to bottom. got a lot of favorite Yayhoos moments - their live covers of Love Train and Roam were cool, but one of the coolest things I saw them do was a scorching 12 minute cover of Down By The River by Neil Young at one of the past few Cleveland shows.... Thanks for the comments! 84240@blogcritics.org Thu, 9 Sep 2004 12:06:54 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/09/08/235316.php#comment-84190 I absolutely love the Yayhoos, who are bar-rock at its grinning, stupid best. Guitars guitars guitars. Loud. Four guys who have done this before. Eric seems to turn up at every other good rock show on the Lower East Side. He's always welcome. Your post sent me to the Yayhoos web page, where I see that joyfully there will be a new album. Amazing news! But I seem to remember a very drunken, very loud "farewell" show in 2002.... Thanks for the heads-up. I'm ordering the new Eric right now. The Yayhoos' amps all go to 11. 84190@blogcritics.org Thu, 9 Sep 2004 10:17:28 EDT
