More about Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Formed in 2000, the band was one of the leading lights of New York City's turn-of-the-century rock scene, alongside The Strokes, Interpol, LCD Soundsystem, TV on the Radio, The National, Liars, The Rapture, and many others. Their unusually small lineup resulted in a very full sound that was dominated by Karen O's shape-shifting vocals and wild stage presence.
The band recently signed with indie powerhouse Secretly Canadian. They will be releasing new music that will be available in the fall. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs haven't released a new album since 2013's Mosquito, but Karen O, the group's spokesperson, is ready to usher in a new era.
