Squeezed between their international tourdates, Yo La Tengo will be stopping in America for seven shows smack dab in the middle of their international trek, continuing their Popular Songs (TMT Review) tour. Every show listed has tickets priced at $20 or less, the kicker being that none of these tickets will have a surcharge or additional fees tagged on. Suck it, Ticketmaster! Some real effort went...

We started off where most people seemed to: Yo La Tengo in the majestic main room of the theatre. Yo La Tengo is one of those bands I always read a lot of good things about, [...]

Yo La Tengo “If It’s True” One of the tricks Yo La Tengo have mastered over the years is placing their quiet, unassuming personalities in the context of familiar song styles that are typically characterized by more glamorous vocalists. They’re not the first people to ever do this, and they’re hardly not the only band to [...]

"Take It In" from the album The Knot 2009 iTunes Certain critical terms get taken as pejorative when they're merely descriptive: "Droning," for example, doesn't necessarily mean boring or moribund. When used to describe a sound, "drone" usually means "a low hum," and when employed by a band as skilled as Maryland's Wye Oak , a low hum can convey a rich palette....

The Mysteries of Sustain and Electricity: Kim Kirkpatrick: Through the years I routinely ponder band dynamics. The quality of their music over the long haul and how they manage to stay together for years. My own struggles in a band, creating music with three friends produced an appreciation and respect for particular bands that remain creative for years. I honestly cannot fathom how bands manage to...

Concert tickets aren’t cheap these days. We know this. I remember paying $27.00 for a ticket at a decent venue just last year. Now the average concert ticket is looking more like $40…plus that vexing surcharge taking the price over the top. It makes me think twice about going to see live music, especially around [...]

Yo La Tengo have a certain way with a song. It can be trundling along nicely but not necessarily grabbing you, when a sound emerges that makes your ears prick up and suddenly all the divergent parts of the music come alive and the song becomes great. In their opening track, "My Heart's Reflection", it's James McNew's rumbling bass; in their second, "More Stars Than There Are in Heaven",...
