At The Bar With Southern Comfort: Wild Yaks, “Way Over Yonder in a Minor Key”

Hanly Banks

We’re up to episode six of At The Bar With Southern Comfort, in which we travel to some of our favorite new bands’ hometowns (or as near as we can get) and film them covering some of their favorite bands’ best songs. This time we had to travel all the way across the bridge to Brooklyn to hear the borough’s native Wild Yaks at a bar where, conveniently, one of the Yaks bartends.  They played a rousing rendition of Billy Bragg’s “Way Over Yonder in a Minor Key,” employing beer cans for percussion instruments. Stay tuned in the coming weeks as we travel across North America to meet up with other bands while racking up frequent flyer miles and good times.
