Pitchfork: Yeah Yeah Yeahs Prep DVD for October Release

Yeah Yeah Yeahs Prep DVD for October Release

With only one LP and a few scant EPs under their collective belt, Brooklyn's Yeah Yeah Yeahs are already prepping a loaded DVD collection for release on October 18th. Titled Tell Me What Rockers to Swallow, the set will feature all of the group's music videos to date ("Date with the Night", "Pin", "Maps" and the Spike Jonze-directed "Y Control"), a documentary filmed in Japan by video director Patrick Daughters, an audience documentary directed by Spike Jonze, live footage culled from two San Francisco performances earlier this year, and the MTV Video Music Awards performance of "Maps". Additionally, the Japanese footage features the as-yet-unreleased tracks "Sealings", "10x10", "Down Boy", and "Rockers to Swallow".

In other news, the group has plans to make several recent remixes of "Y Control" available via iTunes. High profile fans The Faint, Tommie Sunshine, and Psychic TV founder Genesis P. Orridge have each put their own stamp on the cut from last year's Fever to Tell. The exclusive downloads should hit within the next couple of weeks. And finally, the group have two live appearances in the pipeline: The first will be held tonight in Mexico City at Salon 21, while the second will take them to quasi-legendary Seattle alt-rock station KNDD's Endfest this Saturday, where they'll play alongside X, Psychedelic Furs, Violent Femmes, and, uh, Harvey Danger. Run it up the flagpole:

09-21 Mexico City, Mexico - Salon 21
09-25 Seattle, WA - KNDD Endfest
