Da Yoopers describe themselves as "The Ultimate Garage Band," but that's just modesty from the UP's goofiest band. Punk to polka, it's der guys who brought you "Da Second Week Of Deer Camp." Da Yoopers have been making us laugh since 1975, and you've heard them on the Dr Demento show, as well as other radio shows across the country. Now THIS is comedy music! Members of Da Yoopers are:

Jim "Hoolie" DeCaire - leader of the band Da Yoopers. Started his musical career with the famous yooper band Mutti and the Martians. DeCaire believes that all musicians are aliens by origin and that the band will eventually be picked up by an alien space ship. He is preparing the band to spend the rest of their lives playing music and spreading culture throughout the universe.

Lynn Coffey - discovered while playing organ at the local movie house in Ishpeming by Hoolie DeCaire. Hoolie was devastated when his old piano player ran off with a woman from Green Bay because she had a new pick up truck. Hoolie was so impressed by Lynn's fast hands he offered her $5.00 a show - she went for it. She plays keyboards and sings with Da Yoopers.

Jim Bellmore - Hoolie discovered "Schween" playing his blazing gaddar licks in a 60's group called "The Psychedelic Beavers". Hoolie was so intrigued by "Schween's" insistence that "all music died after the 60's and any music released other than 8-track tape or vinyl is crappola." that He hired him on the spot, not because "Schween" was so odd and weird looking in his bell-bottoms, but because he is still waiting - with baited breath - for the next Doors album to be released. He believes that Jim Morrison is alive and living in Eben. Hoolie thought, 'this is dedication' and anyone who believes this belongs with Da Yoopers group.

Bob Symons - Body-man Bob came up with the concept of combining a fast-food restaurant with a body shop. Bob thought it would be neat if the customer could wait and eat while their cars were being fixed. He sunk his life savings into this venture, but never could afford to buy a microwave to thaw out the pasties and smelt. So, he went belly-up after the first week and now plays drums for Da Yoopers.

Reg Lusardi - famous bass player for Elmo and the Gumps, which played all over Yooperland and spread their new style of heavy metal polka called Polka Metal. Sadly to say, the band broke up because of lack of jobs. He now hunts and fishes and plays bass guitar for Da Yoopers.

21st Century Yoopers In Space It all takes place in the future, a time when the earths fresh water is at an all time low, and Da Yooper crew of the space ship "Lougy II" are on a mission to protect the Great Lakes from water pirates, most notably, the despicable water pirate, Borus-Da-Sprinkler. Of course the songs cover today's important worldly topics such as: Fishing, Hunting, Beer Drinking, Yooper Rap-Hop, Tough Babes, Casino Fun, Beagles, Funny Love Songs, along with great comedy sketches featuring a crew of crazy characters! CD Price: $14.97

Songs for Fart Lovers Da Yoopers make musical history! No one in the history of music has ever written a complete album of “all original” songs about farting…songs that speak of the true essence of farts and asks these age old questions: Where do farts come from? Why don’t you ever hear your Mother fart? If you fart in church will you go to hell? How would it feel to be a toilet? Is there life after defecation for a turd? To answer these questions, and because of their unrelenting love of farts, Hoolie and Bella from Da Yoopers were inspired to write their 10th album, Songs for Fart Lovers, and Da Yoopers assure you that this one is “a deep meaningful masterpiece of musical history.” CD Price: $14.97

Jackpine Savage Jackpine Savage marks a departure from the experimental sonic bombast of We're Still Rockin', to a "return to roots" style similar to Camp Fever and Culture Shock. CD Price: $14.97

Diehards II Features all the rest of the great songs from Da Yoopers first five releases: Yoopanese, Culture Shock, Camp Fever, Yoop It Up and Yoopy Do Wah. CD Price: $14.97

For Diehards Only The very best of Da Yoopers hard-to-find first five releases: Yoopanese, Culture Shock, Camp Fever, Yoop It Up and Yoopy Do Wah. Features the classics "Second Week of Deer Camp" and "Rusty Chevrolet". CD Price: $14.97

One Can Short of a 6 Pack The album includes some of Da Yoopers' greatest hits, such as "Do You Wanna Buy An Organ" and "The Anniversary Song," along with more clever dialogue tracks, like another "Talk Time" and the outrageously funny "Uncle Bruno's True Christmas Story." It even features another spoof, entitled "Grandpa Got Run Over By a Beer Truck," another example proving that Da Yoopers can do parodies and not just original songs. CD Price: $14.97
