New York City, New York, United States (2000 – present)

Yeah Yeah Yeahs is an alternative rock band formed in New York City, New York, United States in the late summer of 2000. The band consists of Karen Orzolek (vocals), Nick Zinner (guitar, keyboards) and Brian Chase (drums).

Their music melds genres ranging from new wave to art punk and garage rock using heavy guitars, synthetic sounds, and screaming, erotic, bluesy vocals. Karen O is known for her energetic, animated stage presence, complemented by her outrageously colorful costumes designed especially for her by friend Christian Joy.

YYYs have recorded three studio albums: “Fever to Tell” and “Show Your Bones” and “It’s Blitz!”, as well as three EPs: “Yeah Yeah Yeahs” EP, “Machine” EP and the “Is Is” EP, which features songs written during the “Fever to Tell” era that were not recorded until 2007.

Nick Zinner also plays in Head Wound City, a hardcore supergroup with members of the Blood Brothers and The Locust, and has toured with Bright Eyes for his album, Digital Ash In A Digital Urn. Brian Chase has an active side project in the form of his improvisational band, The Seconds.

In 2005 Karen O collaborated with Kool Keith on the track “Teaser”, which was said to be on the porn film “Deep Throat vs. Lialeh” soundtrack, though this was never officially released. For the movie “Jackass 2”, she collaborated with Peaches and Johnny Knoxville to record a track entitled “Backass”. In 2007 she contributed vocals to a version of “Highway 61 Revisited” by Bob Dylan for the “I’m Not There” soundtrack. She also appears on the soundtrack of the forthcoming film adaptation of “Where The Wild Things Are”, directed by Spike Jonze.

It's Blitz just didn't have the same impact on me as their other albums did. I never listen to it.

i do wish there was a little more guitar, or another song or 2 with guitar. I love the songs even without much guitar the way they are. Maybe the could come out with a sorta remix cd with some of the songs done with guitar and no synths. That'd be cool. But i really love its blitz the way it is. I think runaway could sound pretty sweet using guitars!
