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.

Lady Gaga Saga

All Lady Gaga fans are wondering what is up with the songstress these days. Her hectic touring and appearance calendar was abruptly halted, for obvious reasons, after her collapse before a concert in England.

She was able to pull it together for the Oprah show but still has us worried and wondering if she will in fact be able to make the rest of her scheduled performances leading up to her performance at the Grammy’s, January 31st, where she is nominated for 5 awards.

We at Flycell wish her well and hope she recovers quick!

Get your Lady Gaga ringtones at Flycell.com.

Artist Spotlight: Demi Lovato


Demi Lovato got her start with that purple dinosaur on the show Barney & Friends. While she had several guest spots, she is best known for role in the film Camp Rock with the Jonas Brothers. Stating that acting was more of a hobby, she pursued her true passion: music. With support from Disney and the Jonases her first album debuted at #2 on the Billboard charts (second to Metallica). On her second album, aptly titled Here We Go Again, she tried to move away from the Jonas Brothers sound, employing songwriters Jon McLaughlin and John Mayer. This resulted in a move away from bubblegum pop and into more mature rock, Jack Johnson type singer/songwriter, and even flirtations with world music. Here We Go Again debuted at #1. Besides the Jonas Brothers, she’s also performed with Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez. Demi also claims to be a huge metalhead, a fan of black metal bands like Children of Bodom and metalcore like Underoath.
