Guitarist Nick Zinner (left), singer Karen O (middle) and drummer Brian Chase have taken their artsy punk sound from the garage to the stages of the world.
Zinner said it’s the biggest compliment and the most humbling experience to be playing with such amazing bands.
While onstage, Zinner said he tries not to think of anything, but sometimes finds his mind wondering if people he knows are in the audience, and which democratic candidate has won the latest primary.

 Splendid: Features: The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Nick: The road is really repetitive, but this at least allows a means of escape: it's comfortably repetitive.
Nick: Well, it used to be that Karen would come to me with some lyrics and I'd come to her with some music and she'd write some music and we'd make a union.
Nick: Well, we recorded what we thought was going to be the record last March, but then we just scrapped it, basically because we went on tour and did exactly what we mentioned before -- we road tested the songs and learned to let them grow their own little feet and walk around.

 Arts | Affirmative action
Her magnetic presence, coupled with the red-blooded playing of guitarist Nick Zinner and drummer Brian Chase, have established the Yeah Yeah Yeahs as an act worth far more than the hype they received as leaders of an incestuous underground music scene in Williamsburg, the 'super-trendy' (in Zinner's words) Brooklyn enclave.
Zinner and Chase bracket the singer, as they do in all their photos, like parents protecting a small child.
She transferred to New York University and one night in a local bar met Zinner, who, she has said, made her 'feel like crying' the night they met, such was their instant connection.

Now, I didn't travel around the floor much, but there were certainly a lot of gay boys in my area, although I cannot say if we were all gravitating to Nick or there were just a lot of gay boys in general at the show.
Show was great, and Nick's live stuff wasn't as complex as I had thought.
Not sure what the origin is. Nick didn't come across as gay at all, and Karen mentioned him looking for girls earlier, so who knows.

 Two Ears and a Tale: Three's Company (Seattle Weekly)
This may be Zinner's first encounter with a celebrity gadfly, but the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have already amassed a good number of rabid fans and plenty of gushing press—thanks to their distinctive art punk propelled by Zinner's taut guitar licks, the edgy, sexy vocals of Karen O, and Brian Chase's distinctive drumming.
The band formed in 2000, when Karen was a student at N.Y.U. Zinner, who hails from Boston, had been through a string of unsuccessful groups but was immediately taken with the singer.
Zinner is looking forward to spreading the YYYs' unique brand of "love" these next few weeks as the trio terrorizes the country, along with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and fellow up-and-comers the Liars.

Nick was with a punk group named the Challenge Of The Future as well as another band, Unitard, at the time but was immediately drawn to Karen’s poignant song writing as well as her tough yet sensual vocals and consequently left both bands to play acoustic with her.
Nick stated, “England is just quicker to catch on to things that are "new", and because they are so celebrity and media obsessed, they raise people's levels quite quickly.

In fact, most Monday's throughout YYYs time in Europe Zinner could be seen in London's Trash nightclub, mingling happily with the punters in front of whom his band played one of their self-professed best ever gigs.
As Nick himself says, “We only formed two years ago, it's all happened really fast.” And, as is all to often the case these days, YYYs have found this side of the pond far more receptive than his homeland.
Nick should have the last word “Our records are definitely all over the place and we try to have each song sound as different from the other when we first started we wanted to do the trashy thing, but then it evolved into doing whatever.” Whatever.

By 2005, Nebraska native Oberst had made New York City his second home, and the urban influence shows through in the form of cool, burbling electronica (the light, airy "Hit the Switch") and the presence of Nick Zinner, guitarist for local favorites Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
However, DIGITAL ASH isn't the complete departure some fans anticipated; Oberst's strikingly plaintive vocals and quirky songwriting are threads that directly tie the album to its companion disc, making both essential for Bright Eyes aficionados.
Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s does an excellent job making “Down a Rabbit Hole” more haunting, yet loving.
