Eighties indie rockers to host mini S.F. residency
Yo La Tengo is a true rock 'n' roll love story. The New Jersey indie rock band was formed in 1984 by vocalist/guitarist Ira Kaplan and vocalist/percussionist Georgia Hubley, who linked up after spotting each other out and about at record shops and concerts. They got married three years after starting the band and have been together ever since. While the band has seen a few members come and go over the years, Kaplan and Hubley have been staples since the beginning. The group released its first LP, 'Ride the Tiger,' in 1986, and began to establish more of a following with its third release, 'President Yo La Tengo' (1989). It has been widely celebrated for its experimental incorporation of shoegaze, R&B and country sounds in its rock music foundation ever since. For decades, Yo La Tengo has been steadily rolling out albums, and now the group is set to take on a mini residency at the Chapel in San Francisco from Friday-Saturday, May 9-10, and Monday-Tuesday, May 12-13, giving Bay Area fans four days to catch them live. Yo La Tengo: 9 p.m. Friday-Saturday, May 9-10; 8:30 p.m. Monday-Tuesday, May 12-13. Tickets start at $170. The Chapel, 777 Valencia St., S.F. 415-551-5157.
