New Jersey band Yo La Tengo performed their Nashville show in drag on Monday night (13 March), in apparent protest against Tennessee’s restrictive new drag law.
Earlier this month, Tennessee became the first state in the country to approve restrictions on where drag shows can be performed, marking the latest development in the battle against genderqueer freedom of expression in the United States.
The bill effectively bans drag from being performed on public property or in spaces where minors are present.
Yo La Tengo’s Ira Kaplan and James McNew returned for the second half of their set at The Basement East this week dressed in drag, before performing their new track “This Stupid World”.
Kaplan wore makeup, a red dress and black wig, while McNew put on a shawl and a sun hat.

Yo La Tengo are currently on tour (grab tickets here) in support of their latest album, This Stupid World, and during their latest stop in Nashville, band members Ira Kaplan and James McNew performed in drag in apparent protest of a recently passed Tennessee law banning drag shows in public.
Kaplan and McNew returned to the stage after a brief intermission dressed in drag for their second set on Monday, March 13th. Kaplan wore a sleeveless red dress and donned a long black wig, while McNew added a shawl and a sun hat to his ensemble. Drummer Georgia Hubley didn’t make an outfit change.
According to The Tennessean, the band didn’t explicitly acknowledge the new law, which goes into effect on April 1st. The legislation bans drag shows and other “adult cabaret” performances on public properties and other places where they could be watched by minors (It’s...

In response to Tennessee’s restrictive new law around drag performances, Yo La Tengo staged a protest at their recent Nashville show with part of the band playing a portion of the gig in drag. The beloved Hoboken, New Jersey, indie-rock band played the first of two nights at Nashville’s Basement East on Monday.
As reported by the Tennessean, the band performed a first set and then took a brief intermission. For the second set, singer-guitarist Ira Kaplan and bassist-keyboard player James McNew returned in women’s clothes — singer-drummer...

For nearly 40 years, Yo La Tengo have been carrying on one of the great conversations in rock & roll history, welcoming us into their little idyll of pastoral noise, mumbled epiphanies, and sublime cover song choices. Even a diehard fan might struggle to pass a multiple-choice exam where you have to match a list of their song titles with the album they were on, but that sense of familiarity and constancy imbues every new release with the feeling of checking in with old friends. What’s more, their attention to detail...

Few people would classify Hoboken, New Jersey, as the perfect scenic backdrop for an existential spiral about time, but Yo La Tengo makes it work on their new single “Sinatra Drive Breakdown.” The song appears on their upcoming album, This Stupid World, out on Friday, Feb. 10.
“I see clearly how it ends,” the group sings over warped and distorted rhythmic guitars. “I see the moon rise as the sun descends.”
“Sinatra Drive Breakdown,” named after a popular waterfront boulevard in Hoboken, follows the release of This Stupid World lead singles “Aselestine” and “Fallout.

Indie legends Yo La Tengo are back with their new single “Fallout,” the first offering from their upcoming album This Stupid World.

Yo La Tengo have corralled their recent string of new tracks for an instrumental album titled We Have Amnesia Sometimes, which the long-running New Jersey band created during a week of socially distanced recording sessions this past spring.

Yo La Tengo released a new ambient track, “James and Ira demonstrate mysticism and some confusion holds (Monday),” and launched their Bandcamp page.
The nearly six-minute track, which cycles between a pair of droning chords, emerged from an loose collaboration between Ira Kaplan and James McNew in the band’s Hoboken, New Jersey rehearsal space.
“If you’ve spent any time hanging out with us at our rehearsal space in Hoboken—that pretty much covers none of you—you’ve heard us playing formlessly (he said, trying to sidestep the...

1963
Johnny Cash: Blood, Sweat and Tears (Columbia)
Some of Cash's '60s concept albums were burdened with much too talking between tracks; here the tribute to the American working man gets to mostly stand alone on its musical merits, and shines. Notably, it incluces the top version of the traditional "John Henry"” about the most legendarily heroic working man ever, and the version of "Casey Jones" here is classic as well. Politically and psychologically, Cash was the perfect man for this job.
1968
Byrds: Notorious Byrd Brothers (Columbia)
Sometimes transitional albums, confusing listeners expecting a group's earlier style, are underrated. Not so with this classic. It's true that it didn't sell as well as earlier Byrds LPs, nor did the single from the album chart very high, but for decades Notorious Byrd Brothers has been widely revered, and not just by fans; some critics have even anointed it as the band's best album.
