Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Blitz!" the Road This Summer

     MUSIC NEWS - New York City's Yeah Yeah Yeahs have announced they'll take to the road for a spring tour which begins May 23rd at the Sasquatch Festival in Washington state.  They stop at the Bonnaroo Music Festival on June 12th and the All Points West (APW) Music & Arts Festival on July 31st. The trio are going out to promote their latest album, It's Blitz!, out via DGC/Interscope on March 31st. Already No. 1 at indie retail stores around the country, It's Blitz! has earned four stars from Rolling Stone, five out of five from Britain's Q, and been called "the alternative pop album of the decade" by Spin. The first single -- the huge, dancefloor anthem "Zero" (buy the MP3 below) has successfully landed at Top 40 at Alternative Radio with no signs of slowing down.

They've promised to "shake it like a ladder to the sun" on this run!   Karen O, Nick Zinner, and Brian Chase mean it, as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs strut both rock-disco explosions and ballsy ballads.
