WORT 89.9FM Madison · Yid Vicious Celebrates 30 Years: Live on the Monday BuzzOn Friday, February 2, 1996, – Groundhog Day – Madison found itself in the grip of an Arctic outbreak that saw 10 inches of snow falling and record low temperatures across Wisconsin. In the tiny Mother Fool’s Coffee House on Williamson Street, a fledgling local klezmer band decided not to cancel their debut concert, despite the raging blizzard outside. Thus was born Yid Vicious, who thirty years later, have become a musical staple of the Madison scene and international stars on the world klezmer circuit. Yid Vicious will celebrate their 30th Anniversary Kleztacular at the Harmony Bar on Saturday, February 7th. But first, they joined the Monday Buzz for a live performance in the WORT studios.
Yid Vicious live in the WORT studios. From L to R: Greg Smith – clarinet, Anna Purnell – trumpet, Kia Karlen – French horn, David Spies – tuba, Daithi Wolfe – violin, Geoff Brady – tambourine.(Photo by Nicholas Wootton) Did you enjoy this story?
