Concrete Playground

With Sydney Laneway Festival tickets well and truly sold out, it looks like it's all about the sideshows for those of us who didn't get in early enough. Thankfully, Yeasayer are one of the first to say yea to this alternative, having announced a club show at the Metro.

Yeasayer embody the contemporary Brooklyn band reputation: swinging between ambience and hooks, experimental and pop. They cater to the current craving for tribal rhythms, dark disco and sickly sweet harmonies, whilst providing listeners with a little bit more 'something'. In short, they are all charm with the substance to back it up.

Those who missed out on Yeasayer's (also sold out) tour earlier this year will not want to miss this chance to see the band in action. Those who caught it, I'd suggest you head along anyway — you already know it will be worth it.
