Yeasayer trip out Australia

Mon 14th Jul, 2008 in Local News

Cosmic adventurers Yeasayer may be every bit the – œhype band’, but they’re far from flash-in-the-pan. The Brooklyn outfit is renowned for its psychedelic live show, and they’ll be treating us to it this October.

With no clearly definable genre to slot into, Yeasayer create a kaleidoscope of sound on debut album All Hour Cymbals. It’s a truly idiosyncratic record that the blogosphere has taken up and run with, earning the quartet a cult following. Their in-demand status was solidified by a joint US tour with MGMT and Man Man (can you imagine the indie-kid frothing!) and a support slot for Beck throughout Europe. Yeasayer is one of the many illustrious guests locked in for Sydney’s Great Escape Festival, but they’re sharing the love with Melbourne and Brisbane too. Get your dose before they go stratospheric.

Yeasayer are playing the following shows in October. Sideshow tickets on sale Friday 18 July. Great Escape tickets on sale now.

Friday 3 October – The Zoo, Brisbane

Saturday 4 October – Corner Hotel, Melbourne

Sunday 5 October – Great Escape Festival

Tuesday 7 October – Oxford Art Factory, Sydney
