Lyrics
I gotta send what I can’t receive home
I’d have it made were it not for these old
paper thin walls
We understand it could all be breached, though
You [...]

Symphony #15 in A#m, op.53

Symphony #15 in A#m, op.53
by Joe Yoga
i) [agitato]
It’s a Monday morning
and I have the day off from work.
I clean up the empties,
shake out the butts
smooth the ash off the table,
re-crush the cellophane
and either take a couple of deep breaths
and a spin around the block
or
light another cigarette
take the trash downstairs (or not)
and try to find that [...]

john and molly get along

This month’s show was just out-of-this world, with stand up by Janeane Garafolo, Brooke Van Poppelen, and Sean Patton. It’s always a good show, evidenced by the fact that [...]

must-see video of the day

In what might be the most awesomely awesome display of awesomeness ever, students at Arizone State University heckle racist Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio by singing “Bohemian Rhapsody” until he gets frustrated and walks off stage.

Sure, first amendment. Sure, respect for controversial people who step out to face the public. But still… they heckled [...]

you don’t need to do this.

Hey there, aspiring performers of NYC! Let me introduce you to bullshit.
Now that my one man show is done, I’m out looking to get booked at bars for music as I prep my songs to record my album. I decided to troll craigslist because I’ve gotten lucky there before with people needing to fill slots. [...]

  • about me

    Joe Yoga is an artist, facilitator, and incorrigible force of nature based in New York City. He is working these days mainly in black and white, guitar, cassette tape, hand claps, acrylic, and the burdens of rage, love, and exhaustion towards "a sort of land-where-blues-began attentiveness to the half-broken heartbeat of a sound" (Nick Courage, A Mutual Respect Books and Music).

    As a musician he appears at venues all over NYC and his first album "The Dreamless Sea" is available for free download at www.goyogago.com, His new album "Life Out East" will be available in Spring 2010.

    As a stage performer he was recently featured in Kill the Band (Audience Choice Award Winner, 2010 Frigid Festival) and Ramblings of a Gentleman Scumbag (Imperial Award / Donor's Choice, 2010 Frigid Festival). He is also half of the house band at Penny's Open Mic, a massively popular Tuesday mic in the East Village (www.pennysopenmic.com), and produces a monthly show "Grudge Match: Music vs. Comedy" on the 3rd Wednesday of every month, featuring the best up and coming musicians and comedians in the city.
