"Brooklyn workaholics and perennial basement show party band Wild Yaks are sure to fill the tiny confines of Zebulon with people and sound. Their Billy Bragg brothers-in-arms dirges already sound like 100 people singing along, so the sweat-boxed reality shouldn't be too far off." - Village Voice
"awesomely gutsy" - Time Out New York
"Then they played and it was the ten thousandth time we've seen them and it was still killer like it's always killer and even though that hour was competing with sleep hour, Wild Yaks won out and it was for the better despite being kind of tired today and not needing more alcohol really." - Fader

We don't know the girl that wrote this, but it speaks volumes:
Sweaty boys playing sloppy drunk jammy music is the reason why I like dudes, and Wild Yaks do it oh so well. I want to be their friends because I bet they have a really dirty apartment and watch really good movies. I want to listen to their music because it's masculine and not at all pretentious and they're so into it and their glasses slide off their noses and their shorts are too short. The drummer looks like a beardier williamsburgier Iggy Pop. They sing songs about girls and love and tomahawks and pearls like the world and beg for a new guitar when they bust their own. They have a saxophone player with really sticky-uppy hair. You could totally kick ass and run around and drive your car to their songs. Their myspace url is "boyhoodforever" which makes me think they may be aware of how dudely they are but it makes me like them more. They also played this slower song that actually DID remind me of Jonathan Richman, specifically the part in "A Plea For Tenderness" that goes "I know how beautiful death is (duh duh duh duh duh)/ I know why you hate life..." and so on. They're kind of like a screamyier Modern Lovers. Or maybe they're just what The Modern Lovers would be like if they weren't straight edge. If they were real real real drunk.
