Yeah Yeah Yeahs

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Discovered in the wake of the Strokes' popularity and the subsequent garage rock revival, New York's art punk trio the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are comprised of singer Karen O, guitarist Nicolas Zinner, and drummer Brian Chase. O met Chase at Ohio's Oberlin College and met Zinner through friends after she transferred to NYU.

After the drummer they recruited initially bowed out, {$...[more]

 

 

The EP that kicked off the whole YYY phenomenon. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs formed in the late summer of 2000. Coming from bands like The Seconds (5 Rue Christine), Challenge of the Future (Dieytribe Records), and Flux Information Sciences (Young God Records), the YYYs create sexually charged songs that address sensory extremes. Karen O, one half Siouxsie Sioux, the other Holly Golightly, sings in a sultry voice: 'My skin tonight is a-blazing/But I don't think you're my type/What I need tonight is the real thing/   [ read more ]

Insound Staff Pick - 2008! Finally an actual full-length from Karen O and the usual suspects. Absolutely lives up to its anticipation. Karen's as crude as a teenage boy. Pointed, danceable, rocking and maybe a little bit sexy. You know you want it.

An EP of brand-new Yeah Yeah Yeahs studio recordings, Is Is represents the heart of this riveting band - the interplay between Karen, Nick, and Brian - on five lean and urgent tracks that best capture the excitement of the band's live shows. Intending to capture that energy, the band made a live video, filmed at an exclusive performance at Glasslands Gallery in Williamsburg Brooklyn, for each of the tracks on this EP, with co-directors KK Barrett (Sofia Coppola films) and Lance Bangs (Nirvana, Sonic   [ read more ]

The trio from Brooklyn finally return with an impressive new album. Says the band's website, "Show Your Bones is what happens when you put your finger in a light socket. Maybe there is some of that electric current flowing through the tracks of our album illuminating us from the inside out for you to laugh at and cry to or fry to. Or not."

Finally -- a bunch of great, new songs from Karen O and her NYC crew. Touch and Go delivered this EP as a teaser to the band's proper full-length, which dropped in 2003.
