Yeah Yeah Yeahs

In January 2009, at the time of the live performance of "Maps," Yeah Yeah Yeahs were riding high on the success of their acclaimed second album, "Show Your Bones," released in 2006. This album marked a significant point in their career, showcasing a shift to a more introspective sound compared to their debut. By 2009, they were also gearing up for their third studio album, "It's Blitz!," which would be released later that year. "Maps," one of their most iconic tracks, is notable for its emotional depth and has been recognized as a love song that resonates with many fans. In this live performance, the interplay between Karen O's powerful vocals and the crowd's emotional engagement highlights the band's ability to connect deeply with their audience. Additionally, the year marked a period of increasing recognition for the band, solidifying their status in the indie rock scene while they prepared for their next creative evolution.
