YEAH YEAH YEAHS - BLITZKREIG

Yeah Yeah Yeahs (New York City)
The highly anticipated record release of Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ new album, “It’s Blitz”, is finally out and ready for download much earlier than planned, a move caused by an internet leak. But, instead of holding back, YYYs are now “blitzing” through and making it possible for everyone to acquire their new record sooner than expected. For loyal fans and new ones alike, it couldn’t have happened any sooner! The record is outstandingly fresh and infectiously groovy as everyone would expect from them.
Singer, Karen O, lights up the night sky with her Siouxsie-esque appeal and their new video for their single release, “Zero,” hints at a deluge of superb music still coming our way. The video was shot entirely in San Francisco’s various eclectic neighborhoods and gives off an interesting twist on the meaning of stage performance - a must see!
Their third album release was originally scheduled for a US release in April but can now be purchased as a digital download directly from their site and iTunes. CD versions are available for shipping at the end of March and vinyl by mid April. A blitz through Europe will kick off in April with (sold out) shows in Manchester and London. For more tour information, visit their blog or Myspace profile for details.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs are one of my ever most favorite US rock bands, defying genre and generation that, I believe deserve continuous recognition for their unique artistry and pure energy.
