We remember fondly watching Brooklyn band Yeasayer open and completely blow off the stage the headliners (Man Man….hmm, how you say–Suck Suck?) at Soho a few years back.   After Yeasayer’s phenomenal opening set, we accosted founder Chris Keating at the band’s merch table and loudly proclaimed that they should promptly smite the place-holder-headliners and take their rightful place as valiant and deserved headliners.   Keating smiled, looked around to see who had heard this man-iacal blasphemy, and deftly high-fived us.

Our love for the band has blossomed ever since.  Yeasayer has a fab new album (Fragrant World) out and (courtesy of The Bowery Presents) you can see their recent performances in NYC in support of Fragrant World.  Make no mistake, Yeasayer is the slaysayer live.  Check ’em out performing three songs off the new album below, followed by the older, riveting Ambling Alp.  Please go support the band and buy their new album HERE.  You won’t be disappointed.
