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. See Day One o

Black Eyed Peas, Modest Mouse Draw Biggest Bumbershoot Crowd

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.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jason Mraz Battle the Rain at Bumbershoot

Photo: Flanigan/FilmMagicA rain-soaked morning had fans puddle-dancing during the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ early “afternoon headliner” slot at Bumbershoot yesterday. The audience and band both withstood soggy weather and swirling winds that wreaked havoc on main-stage sound, but Karen O was still a bright spectacle clad in a green and purple stretch suit and cape. As she swallowed the mic or brandished it like a scepter, glitter-painted fans kicked and rolled across Memorial Stadium’s wet Astroturf floo

Them Crooked Vultures Join Austin City Limits Lineup, Announce U.S. Tour

Photo: Dustin Rabin This year’s Austin City Limits lineup just got a lot heavier: Them Crooked Vultures, the supergroup of Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and John Paul Jones, has been added to the festival’s Friday night (October 2nd) schedule. 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

News Ticker: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kiss, Brian Epstein, Patrick Stump

Photo: Gentner/Getty Yeah Yeah Yeahs have quietly replaced Beastie Boys at Austin City Limits, an eagle-eyed Stereogum reader noted. Karen O and Co. also replaced the Beasties (who nixed festival dates due to Adam Yauch’s cancer treatment) at Lollapalooza; Tenacious D will fill in at Outside Lands. Canadian Kiss fans in Oshawa, Ontario, won an online contest guaranteeing them a gig on the band’s fall tour and were shocked to see their city missing from the itinerary announced earlier this week.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Tool’s Stunning Spectacles Score at Lollapalooza

Karen O has never been one to make safe sartorial choices, but the outfit she was wearing when she and her band, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, took the stage at Lollapalooza was daring even for her. On her head she wore a towering crown made of multicolored cardboard cut-outs of human hands. It was enormous, a towering headdress that flapped and fluttered in the evening breeze. As if that wasn’t enough — she had the cape to match. She was bizarre, entrancing and a joy to watch. In other words, she was Ka

My Bloody Valentine, Arctic Monkeys Rock All Points West on Moody, Muddy Day Two

That’s the scene that greeted recently reformed British shoegaze pioneers My Bloody Valentine midway through their Saturday night set at All Points West Festival in New Jersey’s Liberty State Park. (Photos live from All Points West: My Bloody Valentine, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more.) Though the gesture was mainly the response of impatient Tool fans reacting viscerally to My Bloody

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampire Weekend Rescue Rainy All Points West With High-Energy Sets

Photograph by Alex Reside of RollingStone.com “I know it’s not easy to dance when you’re holding an umbrella,” said Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig, essentially summing up Friday’s rainy, muddy, bleak, All Points West Festival in New Jersey’s Liberty State Park. After the rain turned the grassy festival expanse into a bog pockmarked with tiny lagoons, gooey mud obstacles and the stench of liquefied goose shit, the goal of every band would simply be to try and boost the spirits of a shivering, sog

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
