Boulder band the Yawpers’ alcoholic-patriotism video is delightful (and also NSFW)

August 24, 2012

The nightmarish first week of school is finally over. It’s now time to catch up on sleep, socializing and overall mental health.

A friend introduced me to the Yawpers recently; he prefaced them with the explanation “dirty, dirty rock n’ roll.” That title definitely fits.

Heading into this first school-year weekend I can’t help but relate to the outlandish character in this video. I’m nowhere near stripping off my clothes and wearing the U.S. flag as a cape (give it a couple more weeks, though, and we’ll see where I’m at …), but there’s a small chance I’ll be rollerblading around City Park tomorrow.

Cheers to the weekend—and to the Yawpers for making something so damn entertaining.
