Band Bio: Since well before the turn of the century, Yid Vicious has been enthralling, entertaining, and agitating folks throughout the midwest with Klezmer music running the gamut from the raucous to the delicate. Yid Vicious honors the rich traditions of Yiddish dance music while celebrating the long-standing tradition of klezmorim incorporating new musical ideas into an organic and ever-evolving art form. Between its seven members, the band's musical influences include celtic, classical, country, country-rock, dixieland, jazz, latin-jazz, hillbilly, dancehall, avant-garde, swing, rock, church rock, brain rock, reggae and ska. *Yid Vicious served as Wisconsin’s Sister State Musical Ambassador to Chiba Prefecture, Japan.
