The recent story of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs can be told through the celebration of their history to-date; indeed, it was the reissue of debut album Fever To Tell which got the band back out onstage in 2017 for what was their first live appearance in four years.
And whilst lockdown restrictions have put any more live outings on hold, there was an in-isolation performance of the Show Your Bones track Phenomena to keep fans entertained back in May, and now Karen O has gone back to Fever To Tell for a similar rendition of Maps to continue marking the 20 years of Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Have a watch below.
The reissue of Fever To Tell came about thanks to ‘a friend of a friend’ consistently asking if they were going to address an album which hadn’t been available on vinyl for a decade. “That’s not right,” they said.
“So here it is on vinyl for the first time in 10 years plus a time capsule of photos, demos (1st ever recorded,) a mini film documenting our near downfall and other fun memorabilia, from the turn of the century NYC, made with love and the usual blood, sweat and tears of Yeah Yeah Yeahs.”
