Yeah Yeah Yeahs at Roseland Ballroom, May 2 By Shannon Ronan
Still a relatively new band, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have already proven to indie elitists everywhere that they know how to rock and they do it really well. Backed with that knowledge, playing to a hometown crowd filled with family members and friends galore, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were able to let their guard down a little bit, sticking with newer songs off their recent release, Show Your Bones. Karen O.'s stage presence is always worth coming out for, but the band also took advantage of their loyal fanbase, showing off a little too much of their soft side, treating them to an acoustic version of "Maps," and other slow songs like "The Sweets," "Turn Into" and "Warrior." Personally, after hearing "Pin" and "Tick," I was craving more old favorites like "Rich" and "Bang" (even if it meant actually getting banged by the obnoxious crowd of wild drunkards in front with an apparently insatiable taste for slam-dancing). Oooh, New York, you're soooo hard core. |
