Yeah Yeah Yeah?

whoever doesn't know about the Yeah Yeah Yeah's needs a reality check. You haven't heard the best female led band unless you've heard the Yeah Yeah Yeah's (or Blondie....but you know...whatever)

Yeah Yeah Yeahs is a New York City-based rock band. The band members include lead singer Karen O, drummer Brian Chase, and guitarist Nick Zinner. Their music is a mix of retro styles with heavy rock/punk guitars, synthetic sounds and screaming, and erratic and bluesy vocals. They formed in 2000 as a trio, and were joined by second guitarist Imaad Wasif in 2006 for touring purposes Yeah Yeah Yeahs' debut release was a self-titled EP, released in 2001. They followed it with another EP, Machine, in 2002.

In 2003, the band released their first complete album, Fever to Tell, which received several strong critical reviews and sold more than 750,000 copies worldwide. The album's third single, "Maps", received significant airplay on alternative radio. The video for their 2004 single "Y Control" was directed by acclaimed director Spike Jonze, who was involved with the band's lead singer Karen O for a period. In October 2004, the band released their first DVD, Tell Me What Rockers to Swallow. The DVD included a concert filmed at The Fillmore in San Francisco, all of the band's music videos to date, and various interviews.

Their second album, Show Your Bones, was released on March 27/28, 2006. The album's producer, Sam "Squeak E. Clean" Speigel, told MTV News that the album was a concept album about Karen O's cat, and would be titled Coco Beware. However, MTV was forced to retract the story, noting that Speigel had failed to mention that he was joking. Karen O told online zine Drowned in Sound, "Show Your Bones is what happens when you put your finger in a light socket," crediting "9 year old antigenius wonder-kid Drake Barrett for the insight."[1] The first single from the album, "Gold Lion", was released on March 20th, 2006, reaching 18 in the Official UK Singles Chart. A tour is scheduled for spring 2006

They were at HFStival a few years back with their hit song maps. Thats the only song I've heard from them and I didn't like it to much. Perhaps I should listen to some more of their music.

I love the song Gold Lion

They rock, that broad is crazy on stage. Doing back bends, singing her heart out.

Maps is my personal fave. I sang that song to my husband on our wedding day.

I thought they were Mods from the 60s?

they are ok

their songs get old after awhile but they are much better than some other bands with girls singing.

I have heard the name, I know they play them on Kroq in L.A.... however I can't recall their songs right now

i've heard of them and listened to them theyre ok but not the style of music i like

never heard of them
