Music Getting Nautical with YACHT
Posted by on Sun, May 6 at 7:33 AM
Last night was the big ‘ole YACHT on a Yacht event, a hipster booze cruise where not one person lost his/her lunch over the deck, but plenty sported an ironic captain’s hat. Performances by DJ Beyonda, Bobby Birdman, and a brief three song teaser set by the YACHTster himself, Jona Bechtolt. The event was a ton of fun and definitely raised the bar when it comes to CD release parties.
To add to the yachting mood, here is ‘N Sync and Christopher Cross doing his hit, “Sailing,” which features no actual sailing, but plenty of head-set mics and flying. Yes, flying.
More pictures of YACHT on a Yacht, not ‘N Sync on wires, after the jump…
Bridge & Sewage.
Safety first, kids.
Big magical red arrow helps lazy journalist avoid putting down his drink and actually getting closer to the music he is getting paid to cover. Thank you magical red arrow!

I write about music all day, can't you just let me write about yacht rides for a little bit? Christ.
I love the myriad of cameras in the last picture!
