Biography
New York City, New York (2000 – present)
Karen O and Brian Chase first met as students at Oberlin College in Ohio in the late 90s, where Chase was a jazz student at the conservatory. Karen then transferred to New York University, and while in New York met Zinner in a local bar, where they formed an “instant connection”. During this time they also shared a loft in Manhattan with future members of the band Metric.
The two formed an acoustic duo called Unitard, but they went electric after being inspired by Ohio’s avant-punk scene. After the drummer they recruited initially bowed out, Chase joined the line-up and decided to form a punk band similar to the “trashy, punky, grimy” art student groups that Karen had left behind in Ohio. The newly band named Yeah Yeah Yeahs wrote a slew of songs at their first rehearsal and soon wound up supporting The Strokes and The White Stripes, earning a significant buzz for their arty and garage punk scene.
In 9 July 2001, the band released their debut EP Yeah Yeah Yeahs, which they recorded with Boss Hog’s Jerry Teel, on their own Shifty label. In 5 November 2002, they released the second EP entitled Machine on Touch and Go label.

LOL... hmm... not sure what is going on with the similar artists on this page. Anyway, such a good band. New album is still in the process of growing on me though, not quite there yet.

Dr Octopus on a Yeah Yeah Yeahs song is like the audio equivalent of when a hot chick stands next to a really frumpy girl to make herself look better.

The video for 'Sacrilege' is awesome. 'Mosquito' video is kinda disappointing. I'm missing the band on the videos (not only cameos). [2]
