Yurk - live on stage



from left to right: Simon, Hanno, Mike & Sam

On March 29, 2000, Yurk gathered for a unique concert at the place which brought them together: the infamous Lycée des Pontonniers in Strasbourg, the town also known as Choucroute City; celebrating an occasion they had absolutely nothing to do with. The fact that many people stayed for the whole set might be due to the fact that many of the other festivities going on in the building that evening were even crappier.

"The ten unnecessary reasons why you should come to see the Yurk parade!!

1. We are the next big thing after André Rieu
2. We wear jeans
3. Sam has just had another lip surgery
4. Obviously we fuck society like any other punky highschool band
5. We sing about cool things (like dogs, chicken and cows)
6. Mike promised he will not try any stage jumps
7. Nutritional facts: 10 minutes of Yurk provide 150 percent of daily needs in brain damage; and Yurk is fat-free!
8. We take Oasis tunes and extend them to half-an-hour megapsychedelic pornofunk jams
9. We play like shit and scream like hell
10. We are not funny!"
