Break-ups: Yuppie Pricks (2001-2006)

Contributed by theOneTrueBill. Posted by aubin on Wednesday, August 2, 2006 at 1:10 PM (EDT)

Yuppie Pricks have called it a day. The band's label Alternative Tentacles, made the announcement though the band made the decision this past April saying:

The Yuppie Pricks are announcing our early retirement plans. All of our golf games have really gone to shit over the past five years, so we thought it was time to realign our priorities.

The band released Broker's Banquet in 2005.

this band is brirliant, this is probably the most smart ass punk band I have ever heard in my life, I just saw them at the Double Down Saloon (Las Vegas) they kicked ass, If you hate republicans & yuppies get a CD of theirs it's briliant, live it can't be matched, this is a sad day in punk rock, long live the Yuppie Pricks!

I predicted this by having a cold cut combo about 15minutes ago.

Okay, the sandwich thing is officially overused and annoying.

this band was pretty great, sucks-- RIP

Someone (August 2, 2006)

They had a pretty good and fun show over at the Double Down here in Las Vegas this past Saturday; they gave away their latest CDs out for free. Oh well, hopefully their golf game will get better.

Someone (August 3, 2006)

You are the queer hawaiian who sucked the queer singer off

Someone (August 2, 2006)

A lot of people dismiss joke bands for some reason, as if comedy can't hold any weight or a message. These guys were proof that joke bands can have a lot more to say (and a much more interesting way of saying it) than most "serious" bands.

Read: Alternative Tentacles put it out, so it's way better than Nerf Herder.

Comedy bands can be good, but it's hard. It has to be comedy, not a tongue-in-cheek gimmick. How do you revolve your whole life around a joke?

Read: William wrote the original comment, so it must not have Scruffy's sense of sincerity.

Fuck off and quit trying to second guess me, newjack.

Scruffy (August 3, 2006)

Oh, sorry. Do you not like when people say things solely to be irritating?

Sirens (August 2, 2006)

bad ass reason. I hope its the truth.

Someone (August 2, 2006)

Totally lame.

Someone (August 2, 2006)

Their site is pretty funny and their MP3's are enjoyable, even if they sound a bit too much like the Kennedys. I don't think the band deserves to be shit on as much as they are here.

MrStabone (August 2, 2006)

this band ruled.

i am glad we got to play with them.

Someone (August 2, 2006)

of course. I was just staring at their CD the other day and wondering what was goin on with this band...

i said good day.

OzmanX (August 2, 2006)

What a shame.

Someone (August 2, 2006)

who gives a shit? oh, I mean other than you fags.

Someone (August 2, 2006)

why start a band w/ a name like that?

AlmostPunkEnough (August 2, 2006)

COKE PARTY COKE PARTY COKE PARTY COKE PARTY!!!!

gonna get high!!!

gonna get high!!!!

what a shame.

Dante3000 (rich) (August 2, 2006)

I don't know what's worse, the fact that they broke up or the fact that they were so close to real people that it didn't always seem like a joke.

SlowStupidHungry (August 3, 2006)

Yeah, I know tons of yuppie business types who form old school punk bands and sing about all of the injustices they commit.
