"A kick-ass klezmer band."
- Ari Davidow, The Klezmer Shack
"You guys are wonderful!! You truly made my niece's wedding reception a memory that will last forever. Thank you so much for bringing such energy, talent and fun into our lives."
- Audience member, Madison Public Library performance
Yid Vicious has been engaging and delighting audiences throughout the Midwest since 1995. The group has released five CDs, toured on three continents, and has received numerous Madison Area Music Awards for its unique blend of traditional and contemporary klezmer. Indoors and out, in ramshackle bars and luxurious ballrooms, on high festival stages and on bare sod, Yid Vicious brings the party to life with Yiddish dance music spanning generations from the old world to our world.
Indoors and out, at weddings, at Bat AND Bar Mitzvahs, on flatbed trucks, in ramshackle bars and luxurious ballrooms, on high festival stages and on bare sod, we've often driven crowds into flurries of freylekh-fueled dancing fury. Yid Vicious, ever hungry for attention, is available for weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, anarchist picnics, seances, boat shows, clam bakes, lumberjack competitions, corporate downsizings, highland games and other events.
