Yeah Yeah Yeahs are a rock band formed in New York City in the late summer of 2000. The band consists of Karen Orzolek (vocals), Nick Zinner (guitar) 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.
