Yelle - Highline Saturday, Coachella, Hiro Ballroom, pics, etc

Yelle @ Hiro Ballroom

I tried to like Yelle by staying up late to watch her streaming Coachella performance (she was on after Portishead). Maybe it was just that I was missing Prince at the time, but watching her play only made it worse. Like her or not, she seems here to stay. Her show at Highline Ballroom in NYC this Saturday night (May 3, 2008) is even sold out.

I can't escape her, for now anyway. Finger on the Pulse (sometimes BV contributors) will be opening the Saturday night show with a DJ set, and they've have been kind enough to offer two pairs of tickets to giveaway. To win, email music@fotpnyc.com (subject: yelle contest). Include your first and last name. They'll pick two winners and put them on the list.

Last time Yelle was here (in February), she played Knitting Factory and Hiro Ballroom. Bao was at the Hiro one and he took some pictures. More of them below....

Going to these shows is fun. Not everything has to be self-aware.

I saw her at Coachella and thought she was fun. Her drummer is great. She doesn't really claim to be much more than a fun show so What's the harm? If you don't like her, don't go.

i want to see yelle in a pornographic film, in action with my cock and stuff with potatoes and such. "je veux te vior dans un film pornographique en action avec ta bite" great song, i just added yelle's name because she is gorgeous. i can't make out the last bits of it, because i pretty much failed french in high school, and took a stab at it at tufts, than i dropped out and now i make comments on BV.
