Yeah Yeah Yeahs are a Grammy Award-nominated New York City-based rock band. The band members are lead singer Karen O, drummer Brian Chase, and guitarist Nick Zinner.
They formed in 2000 as a trio, and were joined by second guitarist Imaad Wasif in 2006 for touring purposes. According to an interview that aired during the ABC network's Live from Central Park SummerStage series, the band's name was taken from modern New York City vernacular. The band has so far made two studio albums.
The second, Show Your Bones, was released in 2006 and was voted the second best album of the year by NME magazine.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' new EP, titled Is Is, was released on July 24, 2007. It includes 5 previously unreleased songs and a short film, recorded and filmed at the GlassLands Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. The songs were written in 2004, during the Fever To Tell tour, and performed live often.
Three of the five tracks were featured on the "Tell Me What Rockers to Swallow" DVD. They are also going to be releasing a DVD of a performance on May 7th in New York directed by Patrick Daughters.
Karen O and Nick Zinner both appear as guests on Tiny Masters of Today's album Bang Bang Boom Cake. The song was written via email and features Karen singing. |
