Biography

Edit

In a career lasting over 20 years, American indie-rock trio Yo La Tengo (Spanish for "I have it") have established a cult following without ever bothering the charts. They have released 15 studio albums, many of which have been enthusiastically praised by critics. Formed by husband and wife Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley in 1984, they took two years before releasing a debut album, and slowly built a reputation with each successive album sneaking into more and more music publications, mostly accompanied by positive reviews. Their latest album, hailed by some as their best yet, was 2006's I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass.
