Background Information

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are an American indie band, who were formed in NYC in 2000. The band is made up of vocalist and pianist Karen O, guitarist and keyboardist Nick Zinner and drummer Brian Chase. The band has recorded three studio albums which are:
"Fever to Tell" released in 2003 , "Show Your Bones" released in 2006 (This was named the second best album of the year by NME). And, their third studio album "It's Blitz!" was released in 2009.

Karen O and Brian Chase first met at college in the late 90's. Karen then went on to study at New York university, where she met Zinner in a local bar and were said to have an "instant connection". After the drummer they decided to recruit initially bailed out, Chase joined the group and they formed a punk band. After the band had wrote a few songs, they were soon picked up to support bands like the "Strokes" and the "White Stripes", which earned them a good place in the punk industry. In 2001 they released their first EP. Early the following year they stepped into the spotlight by touring the U.S AND EUROPE supporting bands, and eventually commenced their first U.K tour. They then wen on to record their album's and to be as big as they are now on the music scene.
