Yeah Yeah Yeahs

In March 2012, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were riding high on the success of their album "It's Blitz!" released in 2009, which marked a shift towards a more electronic sound and gained critical acclaim. Their live performance at Fort Mason showcases this evolution beautifully, as they electrify the audience with tracks like "Phenomena." Interestingly, around this time, they were also working on their fourth studio album, "Mosquito," which came out in 2013. The live recording encapsulates their dynamic stage presence, particularly Karen O’s vibrant energy, a hallmark of their performances. It's fascinating how this transition period allowed them to meld their earlier raw sound with a more polished aesthetic while still enthralling audiences with their innovative artistry.
