4 concerts

Born from the vibrant indie rock scene, Yo La Tengo, led by Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley, became iconic for their melodic noise-pop fusion. Influenced by acts like Velvet Underground and Sun Ra, they formed in 1984. Known for albums like "I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One" and "Painful," they've experimented across genres, featuring a mix of covers and originals. Collaborations span De La Soul to David Byrne. Their self-produced projects, including "This Stupid World," showcase their artistic independence, while critical acclaim has cemented their legacy in the alternative music scene.
