We Rule, Again

This comes to us courtesy of our (now) good friends at PartyEnds.com:

"I go on and on about my favorite Austin bands here on the site but there is one that I just realized that I have never proclaimed my long time admiration for –Yuppie Pricks. Seeing them at Red 7 Wednesday night open for Guttermouth was as fun as ever. They still have the shtick down pact.

I have seen the Pricks play in tennis gear, golf gear, tropical gear, Italian suits, on segways, and on and on....so I am familiar with the antics and the masterful execution of each yuppie theme, but the Red 7 show they performed in front of a giant “mission accomplished” banner. It was brilliant. The brilliance was only built upon by their custom-made flight jump suits (like they were on that fateful ship with GW- get it?).

Further more, the American flag thong that frontman Trevor Middleton rocked the later half of the set made all of the audience’s ladies dump their loser boyfriends, rent American Psycho and find a CEO with a Jacuzzi in the back seat of his stretch hummer to teach them about stock options. Yuppie Pricks are the Stephen T. Colbert of punk rock, and if you don’t agree the terrorists have won.

The new Yuppie Pricks album is called Balls and the cover provides a pretty good visual of what goes on when the silly costume comes off at a YP show."
