After a storied run that saw several lineup changes over the years, including the exit and return of an original member and a name change from Yerkish to Lexigram and then back again, Yerkish has finally reached the end of the road. The outfit is reportedly ending on a good note, according to frontman Tim Kaminski, who spurred the decision to move on, opting to focus more on his film work. This Saturday, July 6, at the Oriental Theater, the band will call it a day in the company of the Bronze, Torch the Wagon, the Lollygags and the Cutthroat Drifters. Stop by and pay final farewell to Denver's favorite prog-rock simian sons.
