Standing center stage at London's Royal Albert Hall, dressed in a flowing red jumpsuit and gold boots, Karen O (ko) is recalling her frustration at an old friend. The fellow musician, she says, used to refuse to play a slow, sad song she loved in his live shows as it "wasn't punk rock." ⁠
⁠
That kind of macho posturing is anathema to yeahyeahyeahs, a band who, for 25 years now, have mixed high-octane thrills with an open-hearted softness. "There's nothing more punk rock than being vulnerable" she says to huge cheers from the crowd of largely elder millennials, underlining the subtext of the band's anniversary tour.⁠
⁠
The N.Y.C. band's Hidden In Pieces tour, a run of special shows at theaters across Europe and North America, feels like both a celebration and a recalibration for a band whose heart has always beat louder than its amps have rattled.⁠
