Artist of the Week: Yeasayer






Yeasayer is a great indie electronic outfit out of Brooklyn, New York. Yeasayer blend electronic, middle eastern, funk and psychedelic to create an extremely unique, brilliant sound. I first discovered them at the AT&T stage at Lollapalooza this year. Chris Keating, the bands lead singer, moved around the stage with dramatic movements which followed the melody and beat of the songs blasting through the giant speakers. After Lolla, I found myself looking at their other live performances on Youtube and really discovering that Yeasayer are one of the great up and coming bands in music. Their singles "Sunrise" and "2080" off their cd All our Cymbals, have been gaining major attention from the music community. Yeasayer have a great sound, if you don't believe me watch the videos!!!
