News: Yo La Tengo in Australia next week!

[click pic to view Nothing To Hide live on French TV]

"Popular Songs is as essential as anything Yo La Tengo have ever released, and perhaps even more so – an album that looks back at where they've been, smiles, and stares resolutely forward to what will come next. It also makes a pretty solid starting point for anyone who hasnʼt yet been seduced by their considerable charms." DROWNED IN SOUND

“Impressive sounds, clever moves, sweet melodies” J MAG

"What better way to celebrate your silver anniversary with a band than striking gold?" Beat

Yo La Tengo hit Australia next week on the back of their latest album 'Popular Songs'. Playful winsome and optimistic, 'Popular Songs' finds Yo La Tengo producing their most rewarding album since their breakthrough effort 'And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out' almost 10 years ago.

As well as treating fans to new material, Yo La Tengo will be performing a few old gems from what's undoubtedly one of the most critically lauded indie back catalogs.

In a first for Australian audiences, Sydney and Melbourne fans will have the opportunity to witness the 'Freewheelin' Yo La Tengo Show' - an intimate affair with the band play semi-acoustic, off the cuff, performing and discussing your requests.

The Freewheelin' requests shows have sold out already so make sure to get your tix to their other shows pronto! Don't miss what will be one of this summers most talked about events.
