Yo La Tengo Freewheel into 08

Yo La Tengo Continue Freewheeling Tour

Yo La Tengo

The Freewheeling Yo La Tengo Tour is a rare opportunity to see this ever-surprising band in a setting more intimate and interactive than any tour in their 23-year career. A little bit “Storytellers,” a little bit “Unplugged,” with a soupcon of their famously varied Hanukkah shows, it will feature the band playing an almost-acoustic set of songs from their entire catalog, with stories about their life as a band, and an encouraged back-and-forth with the audience. Already famous for never playing the same show twice, this fresh look at Yo La Tengo offers rare insight into one of the most important, unique, and beloved bands in American rock. Yo La Tengo’s latest CD, I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass, will be the springboard for these shows, though anything can and will happen from there.

The band kicks off its annual 8-night Hanukkah residency at Maxwell’s in Hoboken tonight (12/4).
