Yeah Yeah Yeahs Seek Fan Impersonations for Video, Play Shows With Sonic Youth
Simply dress up like a Yeah Yeah Yeah, blast the song in the background, and dance your cheated hearts out in front of a white wall or sheet. Don't have an exact replica of Brian Chase's drum kit or a sassy set of Karen O-style ripped fishnets? Just "be resourceful yeah!"
The contest allows for entrants to do as many takes as they want (eep!), as long as it's on DV format, is postmarked by June 12, and attempts to put the YYYs to shame.
Glam up! Rock out! Go buy a white sheet! Yeah!
In between video takes, take your tired bones to shows. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are wrapping up their current tour with a bunch of festival appearances. A pair of dates with Sonic Youth in Brooklyn this August were just announced today.
