That-s right, for one night only before Earth gets sucked into a black hole or collides with an asteroid or the planet Nibiru, the whole extended Yid Vicious family will slam out the klezmer jams, providing joy, mirth, dancitude, vests and good manners to the Madison community.

Yid Vicious asks that you join us for this joyous celebration of our seventeenth (and last!)anniversary as a band.

Hope to see you there, please bring six dollars, and, as always: NO REFUNDS.
