Yeah yeah yeah yeah ... yeahs

Before starting this post I have to apologize for not using my Blog last weekend, I was really bussy studying and stuff, but better late than never...
Keeping the indie beats from the last posts, let's travel to the States, cradle and home of many bands of this kind of music. This time you can't say no 'cause I'm going to introduce you a very charismatic band: Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I think I will have to use this word a bit...




I'm starting to think that I love the bands leaded by women and this is not the exception. The queen here is Karen O, and her bodyguards are Brian Chase (right), the drummer, and Nick Zinner (left), ready to hit with his keyborad and guitar to any bastard who tries to do harm to Karen.




They've been defined like "an art-rock trio who made an edgy post-punk, dancefloor-friendly racket". With an alternative style this band has reched the fame. Thanks to the wings of their three records: "Fever to Hell", "Show Your Bones" and "It's Blitz!", they have touched the sky. They were one of the first western bands playing in China even when they knew this public wasn's going to understand a word of their melodic music. Well... this guys wanted to make people enjoy with their music, and people said yes yes yes. Let's check them out. 




"Heads Will Roll" mates. This is a really interesting and outstanding video, it's weird, but nice, perfect mix, especially for a werewolf. The song is from their last album released in 2009, and, as an honor or not, it was perfomed in a Glee chapter.






This is my favourite, I think is a very deep track, perfect to be listened at nights. "Gold Lion" was released in 2006 from their second album. It was envolved in a controversy for its similitude with other songs like Queen's "We Will Rock You". The video was recorded in  Nevada desert, hope yo enjoy it.

  4. Yeah, too few bands have a lead female. A shame really, as evident, a good female vocalist can do wonders.
