WikiPedia] Yeah Yeah Yeahs (often abbreviated as YYYs) are an American indie rock band formed in New York City in 2000 by Karen O (vocals), Nick Zinner (guitars, keyboards), and Brian Chase (drums, percussion). They were key artists in the rock movements and the New York music scene of the 2000s, noted for their evolving musical style and energetic performances.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs began recording in 2001, releasing two EPs and one single. They found commercial success with their acclaimed debut album, Fever to Tell (2003), which put them at the forefront of the 2000s rock revival. It produced the single "Maps", which became the band's signature song. Their next two albums, Show Your Bones (2006) and It's Blitz! (2009), produced the singles "Gold Lion", "Zero", and "Heads Will Roll". Their fourth album, Mosquito (2013), became their highest-charting record on the US Billboard 200, at number five. After a hiatus from 2014 to 2017, they released their fifth album, Cool It Down (2022), which marked a critical resurgence. It produced the single "Spitting Off the Edge of the World".
Yeah Yeah Yeahs have received several accolades, including five Grammy Award nominations. Rolling Stone included Fever to Tell on their list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" and "Maps" on their "500 Greatest Songs of All Time"; the same publication also ranked Karen O and Zinner among the greatest singers and guitarists in history, respectively.
