Album Notes

From Albuquerque, NM USA

Icky and the Yuks started over a few beers at the Dingo Bar in 1997.

Originally a joke band, somehow people liked us, so here we are today.

The band started as an excuse to get away from our wives and girlfriends on Sundays, to have a few drinks and hang out. After a few practices, we got bored and wanted to play for our friends. Three years later our first album came out. It was recorded live at the Launchpad in 2000, and it is entitled "Eureka Pigness." After a few lineup changes, we got our shit together and have released a new album called "Same Shit....Different Day" which contains some of the same songs on Eureka but this time they are studio versions along with several new tracks for your punk rock pleasure.

Past members of the band include: Ronnie Wheeler (on guitar and vocals), and Joey Gonzalez (on drums).

The lineup on this album is:

Richard "Icky" Trott (vocals)
Jay "Yuk" Collins (guitar)
Gil "Yuk" Sanchez (guitar)
Bob "Yuk" Beckley (bass)
Shawn "Yuk" Avery (drums)


On a funny note, we were in an independent movie called "Mall Cop" which is due out later this year (2004).

Icky's style of old school energetic punk has been tearing through Albuquerque for the last six years. We've opened up for bands such as: TSOL, DRI, Jackass, UK Subs, The Cramps, The Vibrators, DH Pelligro, Fracas, The Angry Amputees, and others we were too drunk to remember, but they were highly appreciated.
