Yeah Yeah Yeahs is an alternative rock band from New York City consisting of lead singer Karen O, drummer Brian Chase, and guitarist Nick Zinner.

 Yeah Yeah Yeahs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have enjoyed NYC's garage punk renaissance; they were chosen to open tours with The White Stripes and The Strokes due to their sexy and arty, yet lighthearted punk style.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' sound is raw and energetic garage punk rock with a taste of new wave and the look and feel of the shows during the early '80s heyday of CBGBs.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs also conspicuously steal the guitar riff from Jett and the Blackhearts' hit version of the Tommy James song "Crimson and Clover." Nick Zinner hits the stage with a spiky hair and plays dirty and lurching guitar like an apathetic and drunken Sid Vicious doing Skull Kontrol.

 Despite hype, Yeah Yeah Yeahs put on so-so show
Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the widely hailed garage/art-punk trio, arrived at a packed Metro Wednesday night surfing on a tidal wave of hyperbole, the most ballyhooed band out of Manhattan since fellow New Wave revivalists the Strokes.
Despite the high-energy antics of lauded frontwoman Karen O and the incredible walls of sound generated by guitarist Nick Zinner, Yeah Yeah Yeahs didn't blow anybody's mind.
Opening for Yeah Yeah Yeahs were two less ambitious (and much less hyped) garage bands.

 The New Yorker: The Critics: Musical Events
In July of 2004, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, a rock trio from New York City, opened for Devo, the new-wave group, in a show at the band shell in Central Park.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ 2003 début album, “Fever to Tell,” had gone gold, a considerable achievement for a noisy and idiosyncratic band that lacks a bass player and has a sound that is sometimes thin and spiky.
Zinner, who played in a duo with Karen O before they formed the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, is fine-featured and rail thin, with a nest of fl hair and a talent for writing elegant, howling guitar motifs that often echo, but never overwhelm, her singing.

Along with the White Stripes, YYYs are the artiest and most challenging of the garage rock revivalists, fearlessly mashing together three decades' worth of inspiration into five songs that showcase their just-this-side-of-sleazy sex appeal and sharp sense of humor.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs cram more ideas and attitude into five songs than most bands express in an entire album; if this EP is anything to go by, their full-length debut will truly be a force to be reckoned with.

Speaking with the flamboyant Karen O., singer/yelper of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, known for her zany onstage antics and exquisitely creative fashion sense that is every bit as important to the band as the unique art-punk they are known for, I wasn't sure what to expect.
Karen: Yeah, I'm still writing songs all the time that are just those kind of songs, like slower and melancholy, and like small songs you know.
Yeah, I mean we were like, it was really interesting, and the company that we were in, our company was two of the different Spice Girls’ um side projects…

 Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Fever to Tell: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Between the vicious buzz and slender trill of Zinner's strings is a breathtaking range-- the robotically looped harmonics of "Rich" coupled with the layered crunch of the wall-of-sound that collapses on top of them; the stop/start emergency-room shriek of "Date With a Night".
Her play-acting is what got the Yeah Yeah Yeahs slapped with the charges of shallow insincerity in the first place.
Still, for proof that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, at their core, make a better band than they do runway trendsetters, one need look no further than Fever to Tell's singular true moment of clarity-- a tune of such moving grace I can scarcely believe they're responsible for it-- "Maps".

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' last major tour was in support of its 2003 debut Fever to Tell, which spawned the single "Maps," and the band is definitely ready to get back on the road.

Where on their debut album, their sound was packed full of edge, passion, and finger-in-the-socket guitar innovation, the new sound of the band, or at least what can be gleaned from their latest track, is comparatively conservative.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' debut album, Fever to Tell, has been released amidst a flurry of hype borne aloft by a punishing touring schedule, blistering live shows and a superb five-track EP.
Heralded as the 'next big thing' to come out of New York since The Strokes, the Yeah Yeah Yeah's faced a weight of expectation that was always going to be difficult to live up to.
The YYY's then rather daringly slow down the pace for Maps and Modern Romance, and in doing so have created two of the most beautiful rock ballads in recent years.

Well before the release of this solid but slender debut, the Brooklyn-based Yeah Yeah Yeahs were the subject of so much international press hype that the White Stripes were probably taking quick, nervous peeks over their shoulders.
Going by the intense polarization that the YYY's cause, it is clear that many people prefer their music controlled, dwelling neatly in totalized little boxes, even in a so-called transgressive form such as punk.
If the YYY's cross new borders with the same cavalier mania on _Show Your Bones_, they will certainly cement their place amongst the rock artists who are truly unforgettable while also showing the ablitity to exhibit enduring genius.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ second album demonstrates that if this New York art-school trio were ever anything to do with the stripped-down, lo-fidelity rock ethic, it was strictly by coincidence.
I always felt that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs had alot more going on than the limiting 'Punk' tag they had and this record proves it.They may have the Art rock stance of some New York bands circa 1976 but there's alot more going on here.
Some tracks still resemble the Yeah Yeah Yeahs of old but on the whole this is a more spacious record and no band in this musical area comes up with the goods (apart from Scotlands fantastic - Isa & The Filthy Tongues)as much as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

 Splendid Magazine reviews The Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Machine
Machine retains the energy and flair of their former work, but brings in the depth of experience from a few years together as a band on tour: they're the same band, but a little tighter and more produced (thanks to sound-man/road warrior Dave Sitek).
Listeners in love with the gritty, raw nature of the YYYs' early sound (once described as the sound from a $39 boom box hanging on a hooker's windowsill) may be disappointed, as this is a more polished mix.
They also know how to sustain an audience's anticipation, as this single is a cock-tease, promising much but revealing nothing of the group's future (nothing here will appear on their upcoming album).

A midweek show, this was a bit of a farewell party for the Yeah Yeahs Yeahs being the last small club show before they set off for better things and national and international tours.
Headliner Milemarker themselves appeared to have no shortage of fans in NYC, and this was their first visit in some time, so an enthusiastic crowd jammed Brownies to the gills.
For no good reason I dawdled on the way to the show, and so the yyy's were already in full effect as I struggled past the 'sold out' sign.
