Yeasayer @ Heaven, February 23rd.
What? Also as part of the Shockwaves NME Awards series of shows is this Yeasayer gig at Heaven Under The Arches. A great chance to hear Yeasayer playing material from their forthcoming album ‘Odd Blood’. The only snag we can see is that it’s on the same day as Girls play Scala. Eeek!

On Repeat: Yeasayer – Ambling Alp
Yee ha! It’s some new Yeasayer material. ‘Ambling Alp’ is the first single from the bands hugely anticipated second album ‘Odd Blood’, the follow up to their majestic 2007 debut ‘All Hour Cymbals’. The single finds the band in a psychedelic, 80s tinged mood with some delicious vocal hooks. Roll on the album which will be out February 19th through Mute in the UK.

Blast From The Past – Yeasayer @ Windmill Brixton, Aug 2007.
This was the first time I saw the marvellous Yeasayer back in 2007. They were unsigned and unheard of and I went to check them out on the back of an mp3 I downloaded from the excellent texas blog Gorilla vs Bear. The audience totalled about 40 people but the band really went for it from the go. I was blown away by them and tried to get everyone involved on the remainder of their first few UK dates. Needless to say they did quite well from there on in. The video of the band performing ’2080′ above is pretty awfully shot by my unsteady hand and the damn Paparazzi is getting in the way but I think you get the idea.
