Yeah Yeah Yeahs Tickets - Yeah Yeah Yeahs New Album Leaks

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' latest album, It's Blitz! will arrive digitally March 10 via Interscope. The New York-based band moved up the release date for the album, which hits stores March 31, because it leaked on the web last month. The band made the announcement on their Web site: "The cat's out of the band after It's Blitz! escaped from our clutches into the big bad world last week. Why should some have and some have-not? YYYs have been brimming with nervous excitement in anticipation of releasing this record to the world! Leaks are NO FUN but it's out of our hands."

The band stepped into the studio with producers Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio on the Radio and Nick Launay, who have both worked with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on previous albums, for It's Blitz! TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe and Kyp Malone make cameos on the record along with Antibalas saxophonist Stuart Bogie and Yeah Yeah Yeahs' touring band member Imaad Wasif. The full track listing for the album is: "Zero," "Heads Will Roll," "Soft Shock," "Skeletons," "Dull Life," "Shame and Fortune," "Runaway," "Dragon Queen," "Hysteric" and "Little Shadow."

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' will take the stage at the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, CA on April 19, after which they will kick off a European tour. In addition, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs will open for Depeche Mode in Ramat Gan stadium in Israel. As for U.S. dates, the band is set to play Sasquatch in Washington and Bonnaroo in Manchester, TN.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs emerged during the garage rock revival ushered in by fellow New Yorkers the Strokes. Comprised of singer Karen O, guitarist Nicolas Zinner and drummer Brian Chase, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs started after Zinner and O formed a folk duo called Unitard in 2000. They were inspired to take a different, electric, direction by the Ohio avant punk scene (both O and Chase attended Ohio's Oberlin College and met Zinner upon moving to New York).

Chase was added to the lineup when their original drummer backed out and they were soon supporting the Strokes and the White Stripes. In late 2001 the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' released an eponymous EP via their own Shifty label after working with Boss Hog's Jerry Teel.

After taking the stage at Austin's South by Southwest, touring the States with Girls Against Boys and Europe with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion in addition to their own U.K. tour, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs set to work on their debut full-length, but before its release they played shows in the U.S. with Sleater-Kinney, Liars and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. The Machine EP arrived first and then, after moving to Interscope, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs released Fever to Tell in 2003.

In addition to garnering more critical acclaim for the band, Fever to Tell also secured commercial success thanks to hit single "Maps." After Karen O moved to California, the bicoastal band took a hiatus from recording to pursue solo projects; O lent her vocals to "Hello Tomorrow," a collaboration with producer Squeak E (the track was featured in a Nike shoe commercial directed by Spike Jonze) and Zinner recorded with side project Head Wound City.

Clean produced the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' next album, Show Your Bones, which was released in 2006 and was hailed their most polished effort to date. The band toured for the rest of the year in support of the album, which peaked at number 11 on the Billboard charts, before issuing the Is Is EP in 2007.
