Yeah Yeah Yeahs at Brooklyn Bowl, December 2011 (more by Dana [distortion] Yavin])
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs will play a Hurricane Sandy relief benefit at the very tiny Union Pool on Saturday, December 8. Opening the show will be Higgins Waterproof Black Magic Band which is Tunde Adebimpe from TV on the Radio, plus Alex Holden, Ryan Sawyer And Josh Werner. Between sets, duo Creep will DJ.
Tickets go on sale Tuesday (11/27) at noon are either $75 (includes a complimentary Jameson cocktail) or $100 which will also include a silkscreened poster designed by Tunde Adebimpe. All proceeds go to Waves For Water, an "international surf-based non-profit organization, whose positive, "no-nonsense" approach has provided clean water to victims of natural disasters around the globe." You can also donate directly to Waves for Water's Hurricane Sandy Relief Initiative here.
Meanwhile, word is the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have completed work on their new, still-untitled, album (their first in four years) which will reportedly be out Spring 2013. Maybe they'll play some of the new songs at Union Pool.

It's a tiny venue, they should charge a lot more.

^Please, find more things to complain about.

no, it's true though. it's a benefit show, they could sell this out in ten minutes charging $150-200.
Posted by Anonymous | November 26, 2012 3:49 PM
would love to go, but i hope its not another 25 min set like their benefit show was last year at brooklyn bowl.

The National and Sufjan are playing a benefit at the Bell House. Heard it here first bitches.

YYYs last show, at Secret Project Robot, was a complete clusterfuck. When you weren't really that good to begin with and you stop playing and practicing together, playing a one-off show is going to be awful.

what the fuck just happened

I was refreshing my browser waiting for noon to roll around and in one click they went from not for sale yet to both $75 and $100 options Sold Out. Ive never see that happen like that. I think the "sale" was just for show.
Posted by christopher | November 27, 2012 12:03 PM
If you tried for 2 tix it said sold out, but 1 worked fine

I didn't get shit. I got a shellgame from Brown Toilet Tickets.
Posted by zincink | November 27, 2012 2:09 PM
what'd you expect; union pool has a capacity of like 150 tops; probably only 75 or so for the concert area.
i don't get why big bands play extremely small venues for benefit shows and charge under $100. YYYs could charge $200+ for a venue 3x the size of this (like bowery ballroom or brooklyn bowl) and sell it out, thus pulling in 6x as much money for their cause.
this has happened before.
