Squeezed between their international tourdates, Yo La Tengo will be stopping in America for seven shows smack dab in the middle of their international trek, continuing their Popular Songs (TMT Review) tour. Every show listed has tickets priced at $20 or less, the kicker being that none of these tickets will have a surcharge or additional fees tagged on. Suck it, Ticketmaster! Some real effort went...

Last night saw the start of 2009’s Crossing Border festival in the Royal Theatre of The Hague, so much to see so much to choose! We started off where most people seemed to: Yo La Tengo in the majestic main room of the theatre. Yo La Tengo is one of those bands I always read a lot of good things about, [...]
Yo La Tengo “If It’s True” One of the tricks Yo La Tengo have mastered over the years is placing their quiet, unassuming personalities in the context of familiar song styles that are typically characterized by more glamorous vocalists.

Concert tickets aren’t cheap these days. We know this. I remember paying $27.00 for a ticket at a decent venue just last year.

Yo La Tengo have a certain way with a song. It can be trundling along nicely but not necessarily grabbing you, when a sound emerges that makes your ears prick up and suddenly all the divergent parts of the music come alive and the song becomes great. In their opening track, "My Heart's Reflection", it's James McNew's rumbling bass; in their second, "More Stars Than There Are in Heaven",...
