Artist Spotlight: Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Yeah yeah yeah. Named after the common New York phrase, the group has been creating grimy indie art rock since 2001. With the release of their 1st EP, they quickly gained popularity and were soon playing South by Southwest and touring around the world. In 2003, they released Fever to Tell, which included the singles “Date With the Night” and “Y Control”, the video being directed by popular director Spike Jonze, who has also worked with Kanye West, the Beastie Boys, and Fatboy Slim among others. The Yeahs followed up with Show Your Bones, featuring “Gold Lion”, “Cheated Hearts”, “Phenomena”, and “Honey Bear.” Rolling Stone named it one of the best albums of 2006. The EP was followed with songs “10×10”, “Rockers to Swallow”, and “Down Boy.” The 3rd studio album, It’s Blitz!, was released in 2009. Generally favored by critics, the album was compared to The Killers and featured the songs “Dragon Queen”, “Soft Shock”, “Skeletons”, and “Hysteric.” Dave Sitek, of TV on the Radio, helped produce the album.
