Friends and UK dwellers.It thrills me to no end to announce that Yeasayer is prepping at this very moment for their taping on Later with JOOLS HOLLAND. For those of you outside of the UK or its reaches, it is an honor to be included on the show, and we are very gracious. Probably comparable to a US all music version of Saturday Night Live...possible right?
Here are the details for viewing:
Tonight - Later With Jools Holland:

On BBC2 - at 10pm TONIGHT

Live Transmission - 30 minutes long.

go here for info:

THEN transmits this Friday, April 11th in an hour long show at 11.35pm on BBC2.
Please watch and let us know how it rumbles, they don't carry BBC2 on the giant TVs here in the states.
Respect.

From the WE ARE FREE news wire:

"To celebrate the end of YEASAYER'S US tour the team at Conan O'brien have asked them to perform the multi-platinum smash hit "2080" this Friday, March 15th on Late Night (12:30am Eastern). We are very excited about this, and now that the writer's strike is ending, we'll have even more reason to celebrate. Please tune your sets in late Friday night to the Irishman and four futuristic hunting beatsmen."

YEASAYER tour N. America and Europe and prep single and video!

Dear Friends and Lovers.
We are sitting here on the verge of the New Year and a positive spirit is abound. Camp YEASAYER have three wonderful announcements for you.

Phase one - Homeland Security:

Having shied away from the travels of North America for some time, we are proud to announce YEASAYER's first North American tour. After numerous trips to Europe and several ups and downs of the East Coast, YEASAYER are gearing up to join dear friends MGMT on a circle and a zigzag of both the United States and Canada.

I could drop press quotes and names of those who have praised the music of YEASAYER over the last few months, and believe me, it would be nice to toot our own horn after all the hard work we have put in...but friends, there is still more plowing ahead. Besides, we all know how to Google.

We know you are eager for new sounds, new spirits, and new revelations. We all need to jive, shimmy, and shake. Bring forth your boogie, brothers and sisters, YEASAYER and MGMT are coming to your town.

Phase two - Operation Free Pete:

After traversing the New World, YEASAYER are pleased to announce more European dates that include voyages to our long lost lovers in Norway and Sweden, charting new boundaries in France and Spain, and visiting dear old friends in the UK, Germany, and the Benelux.

Phase three - Post Holiday Days Present:

Currently hunched in the quarters of Moldy Jackson Room, YEASAYER are putting together a "single version" of an undisclosed album track for release in the first quarter of 2008. The single will be backed by a live favorite that has yet to hit tape under our control. Currently slated as a UK single, the track will also appear here and there in various forms for you to collect and listen.

More news from the Lodge soon(ish). Your distant palm reader.

Hello everyone. We made an update to the tour dates. Yeasayer will not be playing Rough Trade on the 19th of November, and instead we've been asked to play Alexandra Palace with Arcade Fire. We are going to reschedule our show at Rough Trade in the near future, possibly next week. Please check here and the Rough Trade website for updates.
