Yeah Yeah Yeahs previewed new material last night (November 15) at their biggest UK show yet.
The New York art-rockers played a packed-out London Brixton Academy and marked their return to the UK by playing two new songs, the downbeat ‘On Board’ and the disco-flavoured ‘Honey Bear’.
After support from The Duke Spirit, singer Karen O stormed by the stage wearing a black trouser suit which she tore of to reveal a multi-coloured ribbony number.
As well as the new tunes, the band then ran through a host of tracks from 2003 debut album ‘Fever To Tell’ and tracks from their self-titled 2002 EP, including the set opener ‘Bang’.
The band play London Forum tonight, before returning home to continue work on their second album.
The setlist was:
’Bang’
’Black Tongue’
’On Board’
