about

After an unfortunate disease-related hiatus, Yale’s favorite a cappella group, the Society of Orpheus and Bacchus, is back with our newest eclectic collection of hits! With 84 years of experience under our belts, we’ve found that old habits die hard. Sure, we can sing, but with so much free time on our hands, we wanted to stretch our legs and try out some new angles. And trust us, we tried everything from professionally peeling bananas to washing cars with our feet. In the end, we decided to get back to our roots and do what we do best: sing, revel, and record in four (and more!) part harmony. What you’re about to hear is the fruit of our zany labor, and we hope you’ll play it over and over again. Remember, we’re always hiring, so step on up and find the odd job that’s right for you!

about

The Society of Orpheus and Bacchus New Haven, Connecticut

Founded in 1938, the Society of Orpheus and Bacchus is the second longest-running a cappella group in the United States, after the Yale Whiffenpoofs. Initially, the group went without a name until they capitalized on a backhanded compliment received at a party—“These SOBs are good!”— invoking the talents of Orpheus, minstrel to Olympus, and the legacy of Bacchus, god of revelry, to form the SOBs. ... more
