Yeah Yeah Yeah's announce Falls Festival Sideshows
NYC’s excellent YEAH YEAH YEAHS will return to Australia over the New Year period, with a notoriously deadly live experience and universally adored new record, It’s Blitz! in tow. The newly crowned proprietors of the finest zombie rock this side of the century haven’t seen Australia since 2006, and their return comes not a moment too soon.
Already headlining a bunch of Festival bills this summer, finally and deservedly the YEAH YEAH YEAHS announce two of their very own headline shows – one each for Sydney and Melbourne.
So if you’ve missed out on tickets to the Falls Festivals, or you just weren’t allowed because society calls you underage, then don’t miss out on these two limited ALL AGES shows:
Tuesday December 29 Festival Hall, Melbourne ALL AGES www.ticketmaster.com.au or Festival Hall Box Office

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
Over a few drinks we’d probably be kicking the footy around I guess. Depends….I’ve got a fairly one track mind before a show and tend to tweak my gear endlessly in anticipation of going on-stage, but definitely love to unwind after we come off….but who doesn’t!
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
A never ending platter of Sushi, Jasmine Tea and Blue Powerade
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
Jerrico – Great dudes who have created an amazing sound on all their releases. Furthermore they effortlessly translate that sound in the live setting to create an amazing experience for musician and punter alike. We’ve been lucky to know and play with these guys over the last couple of years, and it always feels like we’re catching up with close family when we see them.
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
Toiletries and items of hygene, definitely
What's your secret talent?
If I told you it wouldn’t be a secret…..but seriously……I guess one of the things that most people don’t know about me is that I have played the Viola for 20 years.
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
They’re all pretty interlinked an kept relatively up to date, although I guess Facebook/Twitter seems to be the flavour of the month at the moment.
New Empire
Since their formation, the Sydney four-piece have constantly been experimenting and fusing different styles to create their original and powerful brand of music. New Empire's high energy and powerful live show combined with their heartfelt and honest music makes them one of Sydney's most popular new bands. Awoe magazine has described New Empire as "the essentials of the rock pop culture", and this is clearly echoed by thousands of music lovers across the country.
Forming in the late Summer of 2003, Euphoria Audio are a Rock/Popular band from Wakefield, UK. They have worked closely with producers Stuart Epps (Oasis, Robbie Williams, Jimmy Page) and Steve Levine (Culture Club, The Beach Boys), and most recently have recorded in Trondheim, Norway with Universals D-sign Music (Kylie Minogue, Joe Cocker).
In 2010 the band showcased at the Musexpo music conference in Los Angeles in front of world-wide delegates as well as a performance at the legendary Viper Room.
