Yeah Yeah Yeahs is a New York City-based alternative rock band. The band consists of lead singer Karen O, drummer Brian Chase, and guitarist Nick Zinner. In 2000 they formed a trio, and were later joined by second guitarist Imaad Wasif in 2006 for touring purposes. According to an interview that aired during the ABC network's ''Live from Central Park SummerStage'' series, the band's name was taken from modern New York City vernacular. The band has recorded two studio albums; the first, ''Fever to Tell'', was released in 2003. The second, ''Show Your Bones'', was released in 2006 and was named the second best album of the year by ''NME''.

History

Karen O and Brian Chase first met as students at Oberlin College in Ohio in the late '90s, where Chase was a jazz student at the conservatory. Karen then transferred to New York University, and while in New York met Zinner in a local bar, where they formed an 'instant connection'. The two formed an acoustic duo, before deciding to form a punk band not dissimilar to the 'trashy, punky, grimy' art student groups that Karen had left behind in Ohio.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,,1717923,00.html</ref> Yeah Yeah Yeahs' debut release was a self-titled Extended play|EP, released in 2001.
