Rising from art-school backgrounds to form one of New York City's most potent bands, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have attracted a sizeable following for their delirious tunes. Charismatic singer Karen O is the focal point for much of the attention lavished on the group, but the engine room of guitarist Nick Zinner and drummer Brian Chase are vital allies for the inimitable vocalist as they whip up an unholy racket behind her. Coupled with O's vocal stylings and thoughtful lyrics, the band conjures up a colorful show, with cartoon-like outfits, and high high hair courtesy of Zinner. Here they perform a full set at the Fillmore in San Francisco, working their way through songs from their debut album, FEVER TO TELL, and a selection of tunes from earlier EPs. Also included is an audience documentary from O's paramour, director Spike Jonze (ADAPTATION), and a film shot on tour in Japan. A selection of music videos such as "Maps," "Date With The Night," and "Pin" are also included, and the package is neatly wrapped up with an appearance by the band at the MTV Awards in 2004. [More]
