Post Bonnarooooooo.

Yeasayer live at Bonnaroo.

Such an amazing festival with a truly wonderful crowd! The 3rd Yeasayer show in over 6 months was a smash down at Bonnaroo 2009 and if you google hard enough you'll find shaky footage with shitty audio...but its a taste! Below is my favorite clips of the hand claps.

One more tiny tour to and from Pitchfork with blood Ponytail and then back into the studio to finish the soon to be second Yeasayer long-player. Exciting indeed! Expect another fall tour announcement, like I said, very very soon.

Best.

Break for Showtime

It has fallen quiet on the blog because Yeasayer has left their retreat to practice for some upcoming summer shows!  These gigs will feature a new stage line up as well as the band playing tracks from the forthcoming record due later later later.  Expect news on a fabulous October tour happening somewhere in Europe!!!

Tour dates are here:  http://www.nowwearefree.com/tours.html

The band will return to finish their next long player after their summer shows and we hope to have a final long-player in the can by September.  We are pushing for a single in October and the full length release in the first part of 2010.   Trust me, its not that far away.

Enjoy your summer.

Do as your told!

Repackaged or fake?

The pentagram didn't turn out so well.

Nikes for all in Heaven's Gate.

Heat.

Sunday.  Wood chopping and late, late, late recording.  

Touch.  Today we found a new band member.  We are still searching for a miniature keyboard.  

Sound.  I haven't been to the cave in a couple weeks, so it was exciting to return and hear how the new sounds are growing.  We talked late at night about crash cymbal placement.

Sight.  We are filming some treats this weekend.

Taste.  This was my cutest post to date.
