The Yawpers with Alvie & The Breakfast Pigs

Presented by Sweetwater Music Hall at Sweetwater Music Hall, Mill Valley CA

The Yawpers with Alvie & The Breakfast Pigs

Front-heavy, groovy, fire & brimstone punk-blues overlaying a dynamic and metaphysical roots rock

The Yawpers are the sheep in wolf’s clothing.

Through their first three albums, the group divined a signature style—what Pitchfork described as “an expansive vision of rock ‘n’ roll, one that cherrypicks from various folk traditions: punk, rockabilly, blues, whatever they might have on hand or find in the trash.”

The sound is a front-heavy, groovy, fire & brimstone punk-blues overlaying a dynamic and metaphysical roots rock.

On their fourth album Human Question, the Denver trio zooms out to a more vast and accessible stylistic and spiritual universe. The 38-minute thrill ride generates growth and cathartic self-reflection for audience and performer alike. If there was justice in this world, the Yawpers would be the savior that rock-n-roll didn’t know it was waiting for.

The band’s name is a nod to Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass”: “I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.”
