COINCIDING WITH THE RELEASE OF THEIR FIRST ALBUM, this unpredictable, unforgettable, outrageously funny musical experience is both the band’s breakdown and breakthrough….

Escape the normal, punch average in the face, burn your self help books on tape and catch the thrill that is KILL THE BAND!

"A sort of psychic warrior... [Joe Yoga is] working on.. a sort of land-where-blues-began attentiveness to the half-broken heartbeat of a sound. In terms of paying the bills, I’d like to see someone like Merge or Drag City pick [him] up - someone’s got to fill Dave Berman’s shoes…" - Nick Courage, A Mutual Respect Books and Music

"Intense... smolders with passion for what he does. As a performer, Joe is anything but ‘safe’. His act constantly varies between impromptu musical numbers, comedy, and strikingly intense and real moments." - Brent Lengel, examiner.com

"[Joe Yoga] slaps wailing, eerie vocals on surreal and evocative lyrics, then mixes with acoustic and electric instrumentation and ambient effects, for a final product that, for all its ingredients, comes off creepily minimalist. The vocals never bellow, but the lyrics and music are nonetheless harshly pregnant with a sad and brave anger... This, then, is post-punk: rock'n'roll after rock'n'roll has faded away; personal stories in an era in which people seem irrelevant." - Jonathan Penton, Unlikely Stories

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.

"Towering; baby-faced." - The Village Voice
