The live performance of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the KROQ Sound Space represents a significant moment in their career as it occurred around the time they were promoting their album "Mosquito," which was released in April 2013. This album marked a new phase for the band, showcasing their evolution by incorporating a wider range of sounds and influences, as well as collaborations with producer David Sitek of TV on the Radio. During this period, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were already established in the alternative rock scene, having gained acclaim from previous albums, such as "It's Blitz!" in 2009, which had solidified their status and expanded their audience. The KROQ performance not only highlighted their energetic stage presence but also served as a platform for them to engage with fans through interviews, reinforcing their connection with the audience at such a pivotal time in their career.
