Kings of Leon, Yeah Yeah Yeahs Wrap Austin City Limits Day One

Photo: Miller/FilmMagicThere was a large eyeball suspended at the rear of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs‘ stage setup Friday night, a fitting prop for a band that prides itself on spectacle. The band’s Austin City Limits show was the second for which they stepped in as a replacement for the ailing Beastie Boys (the first was Lollapalooza), and if some of their typical razor sharpness had been blunted from all the subbing, that just meant that they were merely the fourth best live band around.

Black Eyed Peas, Modest Mouse Draw Biggest Bumbershoot Crowd

Photo: Flanigan/FilmMagic After 36 hours of wet, discouraging weather, Bumbershoot saw its biggest crowds on Monday for final-day headliners Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand and Black Eyed Peas. Props to the young music fans of the Pacific Northwest: without enthusiastic teens and 20-somethings braving the dreary conditions, this year’s festival would’ve been a literal washout. Bumbershoot in photos: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modest Mouse and more. Semi-locals Modest Mouse — they’re from Issaquah, a former

As she swallowed the mic or brandished it like a scepter, glitter-painted fans kicked and rolled across Memorial Stadium’s wet Astroturf floo

The band will perform from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on the Xbox 360 stage, just before Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Kings of Leon’s dueling headlining sets. The YYYs are a late addition to ACL, as well: last week they quietly replaced the ailing Beastie Boys on the fest’s l

Phish Deliver Giant Set, Beasties Bring Nas to Bonnaroo Day Two

As the late afternoon sun beat down over the grounds of Bonnaroo 2009, Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs was prowling across Which Stage, sporting wild yellow-and-black leopard-print tights and a billowing tank top, when she suddenly stopped for a second, panted into her microphone and shouted: “It’s hot out there, Bonnaroo!” Over at That Tent, futuristic pop singer Santigold echoed a similar sentiment: “Whooooooo!” she hollered. “I’m dripping with sweat but I’m having a really great time!” (Click
