Exclusive: Yeah Yeah Yeahs Announce Fall U.S. Tour
So starring in the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Cheated Hearts" video isn't good enough for your ego, eh, fans? You absolutely have to show off your Karen O impersonation in the presence of the band, and, hey, a live audience wouldn't hurt either?
Well then, that cheated heart of yours can start bum-bumpin' fast with anticipation as we reveal the newly announced Yeah Yeah Yeahs fall tour. After wrapping up their current U.S. trek and a European jaunt next month, Karen's Krew will head out on the road to California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, and more.
As previously reported, Karen O and Peaches joined forces to record "Backass" with Johnny Knoxville, a track for the upcoming film, Jackass 2. The two must've gotten along pretty well, as NME.com recently reported that Peaches has helped out with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs latest single, yes, "Cheated Hearts". The number will land in the UK on September 4 as both a download bundle (with new song "Thank You Were Wrong") and a heart-shaped 7" with a tattoo transfer insert, backed by a Peaches remix.
