Yeah Yeah Yeahs

In April 2006, Yeah Yeah Yeahs performed "Gold Lion" live at Coachella, just after dropping their critically acclaimed album, 'Show Your Bones.' Released weeks prior, this album marked a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing a more melodic and expansive sound compared to their earlier raw garage rock vibe. 'Gold Lion' was not only their lead single but also heralded their artistic evolution, embodying themes of introspection and resilience. The live performance at Coachella captured the band's infectious energy and Karen O's magnetic stage presence, solidifying their status in the indie rock scene. Fun fact: Karen O used to sport a fiercely bold fashion sense, and her performance style added a touch of spectacle that fans couldn’t get enough of. This era was a defining moment for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, as they bridged their garage origins with a more polished, art-rock presentation, and you could really feel that energy at Coachella!
