Rules, Yeah Yeah Yeahs |
Tag World reports: Yeah Yeah Yeahs drummer
Brian Chase met up with TagWorld.com at Street Scene 06' to talk about
playing the San Diego festival and their new album, Show Your Bones. Brian
talks about their new single, "Cheated Hearts" along with the unique concept
for the video. Here is one excerpt from the interview:
TagWorld- "What do you think of the integration
of the music world into the internet?"
Brian- "Most of my growing up in the music
world really had nothing to do with the internet. I feel like its useful
now for artists to put their stuff out there on their own personal pages,
or through their personal servers to put their music out there. Music is
really about community. The online community I feel removes people from
reality too much where they don't really become accountable for themselves
as people. I think it's a great tool and resource out there, but the most
important thing is to just be out there and be involved in the music community
that's happening in your back yard, the clubs, and the practice spaces
going on." Read the full interview at the full story link. -
