Yo La Tengo


Download audio (MP3)

Alternative rock band Yo La Tengo is marking its 25th year together with its album, "Popular Songs." That title may be a bit ironic, since the New Jersey-based group has never had a Top 40 hit or made it big with mainstream fans. But Yo La Tengo, which played this weekend at San Francisco's Treasure Island Music Festival, is a favorite among critics and has a devoted following in Northern California and around the world. The band joins us in studio.

Host: Michael Krasny

Guests:

  • Georgia Hubley, drummer and vocalist
  • Ira Kaplan, guitarist and vocalist
  • James McNew, bass player and vocalist
