小简介
Yeah Yeah Yeahs是来自纽约的一个三人乐队，其成员分别是Karen O（主唱），Brian Chase（鼓手），Nick Zinner（吉他手）。成立18个月后，他们在全美就成为广受评论的一个乐队了。有了White Stripes和The Strokes的全力支持，乐队在早期纽约的演出场场爆满，春季的欧洲演出也有很高的上座率。在Jon Spencer Blues Explosion欧洲巡演中，Yeah Yeah Yeahs有幸做了开场表演，在随后的一个星期中，他们又开展了一系列表演，赢得了广泛的注目。
Karen O在俄亥俄的Oberlin College碰见的Brian Chase，又在搬到纽约后通过朋友认识了Nick Zinner，2000年Karen O组建了乐队，又在Brian Chase曾任鼓手的乐队解散后把他召了过来。乐队在最初排练中写了很多很多歌，结果在the Strokes和the White Stripes的一系列重要的友情演出中，嬴得了性感而有气质的车库摇滚的美称。2001年末，乐队发行了以Shifty为品牌的同名EP，于Jerry Teel录音棚，Boss Hog也一起参与了录制。第二年初，乐队一同和Girls Against Boys在美国从南部到西南部的演出、和Jon Spencer Blues Explosion的欧洲之行以及自己引人注目的欧洲巡演，使得Yeah Yeah Yeahs开始进入全世界歌迷的视野。

Yeah Yeah Yeahs一组简单三人组合乐团，就是在Karen O完全忘了自己是个女人身份，应该保有些许矜持收敛态度，反而在她大剌剌豪气行径下，再再强拉住所有乐迷听觉神经，另外加入酷味年轻与稳重斯文的两位男成员创作才情，不禁跟着呐喊高唱~耶!耶!耶!
来自纽约的Yeah Yeah Yeahs(以下简称YYY)，团员配置分别是Karen O(主唱)、Brian Chase(鼓手)与Nick Zinner(吉他手)。在2000年成军之始，Karen及Nick以Unitard之名呈现较为民谣风格之二人组合，直到Brian正式加入，YYY才立定Garage Punk明确乐符走向。就在同乡The Strokes/鼓击乐团和The White Stripes/白线条乐团全力支持，成为巡演上的座上嘉宾，嬴得「性感与质感兼具的车库摇滚」之美誉。声名逐步在地下摇滚界攀升，独立厂牌旗下陆续推出的作品，同获不小骚动与推崇。2003年签入主流大厂旗下问世之作《Fever To Tell》，进驻全美流行专辑排行Top55位置，并获得葛莱美奖「最佳另类音乐专辑」提名。纯粹以年轻人的思维大声且直接告诉大家YYY所喜爱之乐种，引领复古与时兴摇滚之共鸣，为新世纪乐种冠上新注解，沾染出深具前瞻性的音乐图像。
Yeah Yeah Yeahs可说是一队永远趣味盎然的乐队，例如每次看到他们三人的合照，那总犹如三队不同的乐队成员走在一起般，卖相怪有趣，实情他们三人却是一个梦幻组合。
先来全名Karen Orzolek的女主唱Karen O，她的唱腔令她得以跟Siouxsie Sioux、Chrissie Hynde、PJ Harvey、Kim Deal等经典摇滚女将作相提并论；她那别树一格的Self-Style打扮(由其好友Christian Joy为她设计)，亦引发了所谓的"Karenabes"出现——即一众模仿她打扮的女乐迷。这种乐迷仿效其衣着拉大队看其音乐会的现象，亦致使她被拿来与昔日David Bowie及 Madonna的效应作比较。
再加上一位身型瘦削、活像Post-Punk / Gothic乐队成员的吉他手Nick Zinner，他的结他演奏亦一如其外观般留有Post-Punk的底蕴；以及有正统与爵士音乐背境、外表斯文得换套西装便可当起办公室行政人员的鼓手Brian Chase。YYYs的音乐就是三人糅合起来的共同体。
从取得主流唱片公司的发行合约，到出版Fever To Tell，YYYs足以平步青云，突破了Indie的范畴，加上爆出了Maps这首外刚内柔Ballad单曲成为大热，令这支纽约乐队得以更加「入屋」。

Discovered in the wake of the Strokes' popularity and the subsequent garage rock revival, New York's art punk trio the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are comprised of singer Karen O, guitarist Nicolas Zinner, and drummer Brian Chase. O met Chase at Ohio's Oberlin College and met Zinner through friends after she transferred to NYU. Zinner and O formed the band in 2000; originally, they were a folky duo called Unitard, but they went electric after being inspired by Ohio's legendary avant punk scene. After the drummer they recruited initially bowed out, Chase joined the lineup.
The 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 yet sexy take on garage punk. In late 2001, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs released their self-titled debut EP, which they recorded with Boss Hog's Jerry Teel, on their own Shifty label. Early the next year the band stepped into the international spotlight, appearing at South by Southwest, touring the U.S. with Girls Against Boys and Europe with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and headlining their own U.K. tour. Wichita Recordings distributed the group's EP in the U.K. and Touch and Go reissued it in the States.
In between tours, the group spent 2002 putting the finishing touches on its full-length debut and playing American dates with Sleater-Kinney, Liars, and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Late that year, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs released the Machine EP to tide fans over before their first full-length. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs moved to Interscope for their debut album, 2003's Fever to Tell. Boasting a cleaner sound and more eclectic songwriting than their EPs, the album continued their critical acclaim and also won them a fair amount of commercial success: the gorgeous ballad "Maps" became a hit in 2004 and pushed Fever to Tell to gold status that year. Karen O also moved to Los Angeles in 2004, making the Yeah Yeah Yeahs a bicoastal band.
The group took some time to pursue individual projects in 2005. O loaned her vocals to "Hello Tomorrow," a collaboration with producer Squeak E. Clean that provided the soundtrack to a Nike shoe commercial directed by Spike Jonze, while Zinner recorded with the side project Head Wound City and also had a book of photographs, I Hope You Are All Happy Now, published. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs reconvened in the studio that year to record their second album with Clean as producer; jokingly, Clean said that the album was about O's cat and would be called Coco Beware, but the album's real title, Show Your Bones, was revealed soon after. Released in spring 2006, the album was the band's most mature, polished work yet, and reached number 11 on the album charts. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs spent the rest of the year touring in support of the album, and returned in summer 2007 with the Is Is EP, a collection of newly recorded versions of songs written in between the band's two albums.
