about

For this "roman candle of a band" (The New York Times) music is a gift. It’s the ability to take the horrible parts of life, and elevate them into a sacred, firey riot. "I think my chief interest is to transform despair into moments for celebration. What I’m trying to do is rejoice in what’s fragile, and rejoice in what’s already broken. The only thing that I will accept is being fully abandoned. It’s about moving and singing with no concern for the consequences," says Wild Yaks’ frontman and songwriter Rob Bryn.

"Live at Rippers", the band’s fourth LP and first live album, presents this vision and the band’s "sense-clobbering" performance better than any album to date. It was recorded at the Rockaway Beach punk-rock-beach-burger-joint Rippers in October of 2019. Bryn again: Almost all of the songs grew out of moments that happened in Rockaway. And to perform them at Rippers on the altar of blood from which so many of these things sprang is strange and amazing."

For fans of the Wild Yaks, the record is everything we could have hoped for: a tidal wave of energy from beginning to end, and six men shouting at the top of their lungs in the auditory equivalent of the last dance before the apocalypse. And when you listen to this recording, somehow, miraculously, it actually feels like you are there.

"Live at Rippers" is jointly issued on vinyl by Open Ocean and Ernest Jenning Record Company in a limited run of 500 LPs with jackets hand-screened in Rockaway Beach, NY.

WILD YAKS
Wild Yaks play an ecstatic fusion of punk rock and big-city folk reinforced with passionate vocals (often delivered in unison by the full membership). The band was formed in the fall of 2007 in Brooklyn, New York by singer/guitarist Rob Bryn and drummer/vocalist Martin Cartagena. While many players have made their way through the Yaks’ over the years, today’s lineup is Jose Aybar (bass), Patsy Carroll (guitar), Giovanni Kincade (Farfisa), Matt Walsh (guitar), plus Cartagena and Bryn. The Yaks’ discography also includes the EP 10 Ships (Don’t die yet, 2009), and full-length albums Million Years (2012), Rejoice! God Loves Wild Yaks (2015), and Great Admirer (2019). The band’s music has been featured in numerous television shows and films, most notably their live performance in an episode of Law and Order SVU. They are hard at work writing new songs in Rockaway Beach and preparing for a summer of charged performances and communal magic
