Yeah Yeah Yeahs perform Hyperballad - Live at Criminal Records

Venue: Tabernacle Location: Atlanta, Georgia, United States Date: October 14, 2006

In October 2006, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were riding high on the success of their album *Show Your Bones*, which had dropped just a few months earlier in March. This live recording from their intimate performance at Criminal Records captures a moment in time when the band's sound was evolving. During this period, they were embracing a more melodic and introspective style, clearly evident in their cover of Björk's "Hyperballad." It's fascinating to see how they transformed a classic into their own, blending their signature art-punk vibe with emotional depth. Following this performance, the band would continue to grow, experimenting further and solidifying their place in the indie rock scene. They were on the cusp of exploring new territories while maintaining their raw, electrifying energy that fans had come to love.
