Monday, 4 March

Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O says the band are aiming to bring "the sexuality and the gnarl" back to music with new album Mosquito (15 April). "I miss the bands that were around when we first started out," says the singer. "When we came up, there was the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and the Make-Up. Where has all the charisma and the sexuality and the gnarl gone? This album is about bringing that back into the fray."

Sonic Youth have suggested they may release a host of live albums. The band are currently digitising their tape archive with Lee Rannaldo explaining: "We had always thought it would be a cool idea to release live versions of the songs from various periods, especially as our songs mutated so much and really found their final form by being played live once we were done recording the records - which to me function more like snapshots of what the songs later became in live performance."
