  • We've been filming Tiny Desk concerts for more than 10 years. While revisiting our archives, we discovered that some of our earliest concerts never made it to RUclips!
    Watch Yo La Tengo’s Tiny Desk concert from 2013: www.npr.org/2013/04/15/176905...
    Otis Hart | July 15, 2013
    It's not often that someone on the NPR Music team gets to see his or her favorite band perform a Tiny Desk Concert. After all, you can only have one favorite band, and NPR Music supports a staff of about 20; that means that, of the 250-plus Tiny Desk Concerts we've produced, fewer than 10 percent could possibly have qualified for favorite-band status.
    All of which is to say that my favorite band, Yo La Tengo, actually played a Tiny Desk Concert. For those who aren't familiar with the Hoboken trio, Yo La Tengo's members - guitarist Ira Kaplan, drummer Georgia Hubley and bassist James McNew - have been doing their own thing (which, granted, can sometimes sound like The Velvet Underground) for more than 20 years. The band epitomizes, sheepishly, why so many were drawn to indie rock in the 1990s: the casual resolve to be yourself and let everything else sort itself out.
    The Yo La Tengo sound has evolved quite a bit since Hubley and Kaplan first jammed together in 1984; the feedback has subsided as they've grown older, replaced by a more contemplative vibe. The release of the band's 13th album, Fade, earlier this year marked a natural time to invite Yo La Tengo behind Bob Boilen's desk for an acoustic set.
    SET LIST
    "Is That Enough"
    "Tears Are In Your Eyes"
    "Ohm"

      Ah man, I saw them at Pitchfork years ago. They happened to be on the same stage that R. Kelly was on next. So many great jokes. They also did an evening with a year or so after that. Just 4 hours of Yo La Tango. 2 hours slow jams, then 2 hours of fast jams. Perfect night.

    7:30 Did anyone else notice that Georgia forgets the lyrics after the bridge (she was supposed to start at 7:24 and just hums the words) and that Ira whispers the line "Please tell me how" so she can remember the next verse which she correctly restarts at 7:34 ?
