Smells Like Record 3...

COOKING IN THE KITCHEN


Yeah Yeah Yeahs have been hopscotching down the road less traveled- from a barn in the Northeast to a ranch in the Southwest on our journey for the next sound. Why go RURAL? We're not yet sure ourselves, but one thing the city don't have that the country got is SPACE and there has been plenty of spacing out in the studio as of late.


KITTEN FACTOR


Fuzzy soft muses aka kittens have played a major role in the writing process of YYYs current and past records. Show Your Bones was written in Sam Spiegel's home studio amidst the birth of a litter of kittens, little gold lions scrambling around. Amazingly therapeutic, nothing turns a frown upside down (there are many frowns in the record writing process) as a purring kitten in your lap. Alas our favorite kitten of all beloved SQUEAKER arrived just in time for record three! Abandoned by his mother, we've watched him grow before our very eyes from a blind and helpless little thing into a frisky and fierce little beauty- much like the tunes we're writing. Go figure.

HAPPPYYY FREAKIN NEW YYYEAR

We have a wet and wild feeling about 2008 and we're not kidding.  YYYs are currently writing and recording another record. A chunk of December was spent on a musical farm in Mass throwing cow dung at each other, making music makes us do strange things. Holidays brought adventures and performances into the YYY foreground.  Nick defected to Mexico where he swam with dolphins, made friends with bats in caves with lakes, got into fights with teenage hotel managers, and climbed pyramids. Brian froze his balls off in Brooklyn. Karen went backpacking in Europe, it's something mostly young broke students do but with the dollar so weak it was still expensive.


On a work front Brian has been ringing in both sides of this New Year with music and friends, performing with Matt Welch's BPO (http://profile.myspace.com/matthewtobinwelch), Jeremiah Lockwood's the Sway Machinery (http://www.swaymachinery.com), and Mike Pride's Drummer's Corpse (http://www.myspace.com/snugglestencil). Also, he's been at work on a project of solo recordings he's calling, for now, "drums and drones" which are inspired by La Monte Young's Dream House (http://melafoundation.org). Outside of music, Brians' practicing Ashtanga Yoga (http://ayri.org/) and is excited about where that's taking him.  But, most of all, looking forward to New Music in this New Year with YYYs!!!  Nick had solo photo show in Tokyo, remixes coming out nowish for celebration, hives, and manson. He's working on another photo book, LOOOKOUT for his fashion photo in the new Vice and a bunch of other photos in the Vice photo book. Karen is piddling around on various top secret projects that are getting little attention now that the next record is on its way. She just finished co-directing a low budget music video for the Tiny Masters of Today. Other than that she has been obsessing over various television series that she received as x-mas presents, her favorite being the UK's own Mighty Boosh http://themightyboosh.com/
If that's all too much information, sorry but needed to catch you all up.

New Year, new music, new website, new attitude, same old lovin from us to you!

LOVE YYYs
