Suspense! Intrigue! Charity! Those wily Yeah Yeah Yeahs conceal plenty behind all that eyeliner. Karen and the fellas just sent out an e-mail/MySpace blog/skywriting plane announcing an impending shot for two sets of 250 fans to get all up in the band's grill.

The e-mail we received was awfully cryptic, but here's what we've been able to glean: Yeah Yeah Yeahs are playing two shows at Brooklyn's Glasslands Gallery May 7, one at 7 PM and one three hours later. Admission is free, but-- seeing as they're in a gallery, after all-- capacity is capped at 250 per show. UPDATE: IT'S ONLY 100 PER SHOW!  GET THERE EARLY! The 10 PM show comes with this stipulation: no boys allowed. (Yes, it's a girls-only show.) Attendees are required to wear unadorned dark/black clothing. And the proceedings, it clearly states, are to be filmed.

Could a video be in the works? Almost certainly. Perhaps it'll accompany one of the tracks from the "brand new EP" hinted at in the e-mail.

In other Yeah Yeah Yeahs news, movie buffs aplenty have already caught however many seconds "Sealings" shows up in Spider-man III, while fest fanatics can catch the Yeahs in dates at two of the biggies this summer.

Triple yeah:

05-07 Brooklyn, NY - Glasslands Gallery (two shows)
08-04 Chicago, IL - Grant Park (Lollapalooza)
08-05 Baltimore, MD - Pimlico Race Track (Virgin Festival)
