Nowadays, you just can't get anywhere without good marketing. Snappy ads, flashy websites, well-groomed sandwich-board-bearers: these are the hallmarks of a successful and competitive organization. With that in mind, some of us down at Yid Vicious Headquarters got to thinking: what's Yid Vicious lacking in the marketing department? Answer: a snappy slogan. You know, something really memorable like the Ford Pinto's "Burning is fun!" campaign; or Monsanto's "Family farms suck!" We spent a lot of time furrowing our brows, rolling up our shirt-sleeves and burning the midnight oil. Then, we remembered about the slogan and got back to working on that. And now we have it. The new slogan:
"Yid Vicious: Failure IS an option!"
THINK ABOUT IT: all those other companies and paramilitary organizations that state that failure is NOT an option are actually LIMITING YOUR OPTIONS! Here at Yid Vicious, we believe in freedom [...]

Yid Vicious is currently gearing up for a trip to New York. YV has never been to New York and wonders what it will be like. Will they stay in a big colorful apartment like on Friends? Will they hang around in the same booth of a coffee shop like on Seinfeld? Will they pray for a hard rain to wash all the garbage and scum off the streets? Will the streets make them feel brand new? It's just all so exciting to consider! If you, Dear Reader, have any suggested activities or points of interest for Yid Vicious while in New York, by all means please leave them in the "comments" section. Meanwhile, watch this space for the no doubt unbearably exciting Yid Vicious New York Mega-Countdown! Starting soon!

What the...? Was that the sound of something being smashed?
Why, yes. Yes it was. Yid Vicious hiatus, to be exact. For a guest opening spot on the May 8 concert of the Madison Russian Folk Orchestra. Balalaikas were strummed, accordians were throttled, the other kind of stringed instruments I can't remember the name of were plucked. Songs were sung, bulgars were bandied about. History was made.
And, of course a hiatus was violently shattered with a mighty hammer of klezmer. But only temporarily. For our time to bask in the revelry of our first concert in many weeks was all too brief and now it's time to pick up all the many jagged, sharp pieces and haphazardly glue them back together so that hopefully it won't leak, even if you can clearly discern the spider-webby pattern of where all the cracks are, for the hiatus must continue. For another month. Meanwhile, Yid Vicious will rest, gathering [...]
