"What?  The band's name is what?...POOR YORICK...the long dead jester to the now dead king,.. just a skull,.. from the play,..  'Hamlet'...you know,...by Shakespeare?....the writer?  Yes, he's dead too.
 
Sometime in 1987 in Austin, Texas, that which was to become POOR YORICK began to emerge from the primordial ooze.  Actually, the seminal members of PY met in a rather huge Psychiatic Hospital...(they we're the paid help if it must be told) and started playing their original song-oriented, rock tunes around the Austin music scene.  
 
POOR YORICK'S INFLUENCES are predictably rooted in the classic rock, pop, blues, folk, country, jazz of the '60s and 70's to be sure,...and as a result the original songs, though 'eclectic' (oh, that word), are still comfortable and accessible to anybody who appreciates such roots.  The band has been recording since the '80s and has an extended list of independent LP collections to their credit. (see discography below).  Most of the catalog is available at the POOR YORICK WEBSITE (http://pooryorickaustin.reverbnation.com).
 
Though there have been some transient members over the years (and we mean that in the nicest way), a consistent core has managed to cling together and crack on far into the 21st century.  The band is anchored by seminal member Ron Nottebart who contributes much of the band's current original repertoire as writer and lead singer.  James Johnson, another original member, handles much of the lead guitar work and backing vocals.  The hard-to-ignore  "Woody" Woodruff, yet another of the original 'Yoricks', holds down the bass-work and shines vocally on occasion with the "odd" ditty here and there (...and we mean "odd").  Keyboard/vocal duties are aptly handled by one-time-mentor-now-full-time member, "Lost" John Casner.  And on drums/percussion/vocals, with a the chops you could ever want, is the amazing Trisha Reis.
 
This band might be summed up (though it is to be doubted) by a fan who came up during a break at a local show to say how much he was enjoying the music and that "nobody is doing this anymore."  Doing what?...Exactly!  

So...come and marinate in the uber-dramatical pastiche! (yeah,..we had to look it up too).

POOR YORICK.

Born with a shit ton of fucks to give
Spend em like a fuckzillionaire
School, friends, trends, the latest craze
Fuck it all, it’s a fuckin’ phase

Fucks overflowing, fucks to give
So many fucks, it’s a fucking sin
Fucks vanish like a magic trick
Fucks can suck my ...

Fuckingfuckonomics, fucks run dry
Spend ‘em fast, kiss your ass goodbye
Fucks don’t last, all fucks die
It’s basic Fuckingfuckonomics

Ten fucks a month, yeah, you learn to divide
Family and work take the biggest slice
Friends in crisis, you try to care
But with fucks running thin, there’s none to spare

Running low, can’t keep the pace
Fads and trends, they get no space
Family, work, friends, your furry kid
That’s how the last fucks get you

Fuckingfuckonomics, fucks run dry
Spend ‘em fast, kiss your ass goodbye
Fucks don’t last, all fucks die
It’s basic Fuckingfuckonomics

No more fucking dividends
All fucks gone, no fucks to spend
Fuck this fucking, fucked-up shit
It’s a total fucking bankruptcy, welcome to the fucking end!

Fuckingfuckonomics, fucks run dry
End of fuck dividends, fucks don’t care
Fuckingfuckonomics, fucks run dry
Who gives a fucking fuck? Don’t fucking cry

One last fuck, that’s all you’ve got
Life’s a joke now, you’re fucked and fuck-broke
Total fuck bankruptcy, nothing left to spend
These are the basics of Fuckingfuckonomics

Fuck this town, fuck that street
Fuck the shoes on my fucking feet
Fuck the rules, fuck the plan
Fuck the world and the fucking man
Fuck you and her and him and it
Fucking lame-ass stupid shit
You already fucked my liar wife, so fuck you, dickhead, take a fucking hike!
Fuck the blood inside my veins
Fuck the noise inside my brain
Fuck the clock, fuck the grind
Fuck it all, fuck the time
Fuck your ego, fuck your lies
Fuck your mask and your disguise
Fuck you, lying, cheating whore!  
Fuck your husband and fucking felon toy
Fuck your drama, fuck your tricks
Fuck your feelings, fuck your politics
Fuck your greed, fuck your clique
Fuck your opinion, you’re a fucking prick
Fuck the liars, fuck that chump
Fuck the hate, and double fuck Trump!!!
