About

YEASAYER IN CONCERT:

The members of psychedelic rock group Yeasayer have been defying the mainstream with their experimental synths, unique three-part harmonies, and melodic sound since making their debut in 2006 with All Hour Cymbals. The band's passion radiates through the crowd as they play fan favorites like "Ambling Alp" and "O.N.E." with a fervor that can't be matched. Their sonically innovative, hook-filled tracks are layered with detail, and they truly come alive for fans at the band’s intense live shows.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Brooklyn-based act Yeasayer started performing together in 2006 and began earning serious attention a year later when they made their first festival appearance at SXSW. They made their full-length album debut in 2007 with All Hour Cymbals, which received rave reviews from publications like Pitchfork and Entertainment Weekly for its genre-bending sound and led to opening spots on tours with Beck and MGMT. The band continued their success with 2010's Odd Blood -- a record that peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart and included several songs that were featured on popular TV shows. Their 2012 album Fragrant World led to a number of sold-out headlining dates, high-profile festival appearances, and late night talk show performances, and they continued to earn hundreds of thousands of fans along the way. With their continually evolving sound and impressive showmanship, Yeasayer amazes concertgoers with their dance-worthy collection whenever they take the stage.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"This was my first time watching Yeasayer live and they didn't disappoint! They had a good mix of upbeat/chill songs and played the favorites. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but their mix of styles translates well in a live setting."

"Yeasayer sounded just as great live as they do on their records. The energy in the room was infectious, and I'd definitely see them again when they come through town."

"It was a great show, Yeasayer especially - great music always, but in concert they are truly spectacular. Beautiful stage set and light show, but it always felt like a complement to the music. the new drummer (standing up the entire set) is awesome too!"

    YEASAYER WAS AMAZING!!!!

    by misha337 on 7/5/11Terminal 5 - New York

    the venue was great despite its bad rep. i didn't find anything wrong with it. anyway overall it was a great concert. the first opening act hush hush was incredibly enjoyable. the smith westerns were a bit boring. yeasayer was amazing and they didn't let technical difficulties stop them from putting on a great show. they replaced their keyboard with anand's guitar so it was a bit different from their normal performances. the stage looked really cool. it was decorated with cacti and other stuff. the lights were pretty and colorful. i will definitely go to another one of their shows the next time they play in new york!

    Amazing show. Both opening acts were amazing (I was already a fan of the Smith Westerns)...which I really think is a rarity. Hush Hush stole the show I suppose...his "art" as he calls it was unexpected and totally amazing. Yeasayer was also beyond incredible, full of energy and great sound. It was all around a wonderful concert! Turned out to be a great crowd too, despite the "all ages" allowed in.

    i said god damn

    by marmaladeforever on 6/21/11Terminal 5 - New York

    The first time I saw yeasayer was for free at governor's island about a year ago. I had only heard one of their songs but my friends liked them and it was free so i figured why not. that show was hands down the best I had ever seen, i immediately bought their albums (yes, thats right, i actually BOUGHT them instead of downloading. I was that impressed). And let me tell you, they didn't disappoint the second time around either. they sounded phenominal live, unlike their more popular counterpart, passion pit, who are really nothing special to see in concert. I plan on seeing them as often as they come into new york city and look forward to the next one

    Yeasayer was good

    by JorkTumbleweed on 6/21/11Trocadero - Philadelphia

    Yeasayer was really good. Had the whole house up and dancing, was glad they played a mix of all their stuff. Opening act, Hush Hush, was pretty sweet.

    Yeasayer, Smith Westerns, and Hush Hush rocked!!!

    by Dickguzinya on 6/21/11Terminal 5 - New York

    The opener Hush Hush rocked the mic risqué bringing an R&B vibe with really hard beats. My girlfriend said it was like a mountain man Beck but dirtier and I agree. I loved it. Then Smith Westerns brought out the garage days Bowie style that I just really puts me in my element. Yeasayer remixed most songs to really invoke the audience's primal connection with really interesting beats. The new songs such as Devil in the Details rocked the house hard.

    Yeasayer was awesome. Though their equipment was malfunctioning, they are such a creative and talented band that they pulled together a show that was unique and unlike anything I have ever heard from them before (and I have seen them live before). Terminal 5 was pretty nice, though the bar facility got to be a nuisance with the lines and spilled drinks all over the floor.

    Why does no one in NYC dance!

    by thinkofit on 6/20/11Terminal 5 - New York

    Yeasayer was great. That said, Terminal 5 is a great place to get a beer and that is about it. But over all... why does no one in NYC dance!!! I don't understand it. It was a great show and everyone was just standing there. Its beyond me.

    The problem with Terminal 5

    by gishrhino on 6/20/11Terminal 5 - New York

    Yeasayer is great. Even when their equipment breaks and they can no longer play their songs the way they want to, they put on a fantastic, wierd, electronic jungle-time show for their fans. The problem with this show is that it was at Terminal 5, my least favorite NY venue by far. Its too inconvenient, too big with poor visibility to the stage, and somehow, the crowd is invariably dominated by douchebags I would never see at Bowery Ballroom or Music Hall of Williamsburg.

    Yeasayer may be ready for a larger venue

    by ReekinRican on 6/20/11Trocadero - Philadelphia

    Yeasayer made a superb performance last Friday at the Trocadero Theatre. I have only been to this venue once before, but friends who regularly attend events here said they have never seen the place so full. The opening acts were decent, but the main event was spectacular. They played all the songs I expected them to play, and even tried some new songs with the audience. The vocals were flawless and beautiful, almost ghostly. They have done some variations with the songs from All Hour Cymbals without making them completely different. The brand new songs seem to continue on the 80's pop exploration that they started with ODD BLOOD, reminding me of Tears for Fears and Big Country at some moments. This is the second time I have seen Yeasayer live, and I'm looking forward to see what else they bring in the future. This is one of the few bands out there that are worth following.

    Yeayeayeayeasayer

    by KrausHaus on 6/19/11Trocadero - Philadelphia

    The Trocadero was the ideal venue for the enthusiastic artists and audience. Intimate and insulated with a chill-yet-liberated atmostphere. Yeasayer played brand new songs, favored oldies and their most-loved hits. Bodies were rocking beginning with Hush Hush's hipster-friendly, slightly-explicit electrojams. The Smith Westerns kept expectations high, playing what seemed to be their most popular songs. Yeasayer's presence as a band was unique because of the diversity of the musicians. Seeing the five men in the flesh only added to the excitement called forth at the opening sound of each song. Successful dance party, happy soul. Two thumbs and two big toes way, way up.

    yeasayer at troc

    by steviecheekzzz on 6/19/11Trocadero - Philadelphia

    Well, I liekd the opener bands but yeasayer didn't come on until like 10:45, I had to leave at 11:30 to catch the train home. MY fault for poor planning, still enjoyed the extremely terse set I saw. Hush Hush is retarted but kind of sweet, it took me a while to appreciate smith westerns, their last song was amazing though.

    Yeasayer is spectacular!

    by BonBonBonnaroo on 6/19/11Trocadero - Philadelphia

    Yeasayer is by far my favorite band to see live. Every time they leave me speechless with how great the show is. Of course their songs are wonderful, thats a given, but they always have a rockin light show to go along with it and their energy is amazing. They care that the crowd is having a great time and it shows. The small venue is even better, it's way more personal than a huge space where you can barely see their bodies let alone their faces. This was a spectacular show, anyone who gets the chance to see Yeasayer live should definitely jump at the opportunity!

    Incredible first time seeing them

    by tenaciousjam81 on 6/19/11Trocadero - Philadelphia

    I waited three years to see this band come around and they played a stupid good show. I never thought they would play Tightrope, as that is the first song i fell in deep lust with. Lived up to and surpassed my expectations

    Visually stunning!

    by Illuminated on 6/19/11Trocadero - Philadelphia

    Let me start by saying how excellent the opening band was...HUSH HUSH was excellent, and hilarious! Now, Yeasayer completely knocked it out of the ball park. Awesome set with incredible lights (LED tubes, LED boards, and two massive LED walls). The two LED walls (lack for a better term), were incredible. The animations went with the music, and the entire band were perfect...very polished!

    Unique experience

    by Steve32 on 6/13/11Royale Boston - Boston

    I was hoping the band would sound close to as good as they do on their albums and was blown away by the live experience. All the production value of the studio work without losing any of the energy. Highly recommended for anyone who likes even a couple of their songs.
