[[Yo La Tengo]] is a [[Long Runners|Long Running]] [[Alternative Rock]] band from Hoboken, New Jersey. Founded in 1984 by former music reviewer Ira Kaplan (guitar, keyboards, vocals) and his wife Georgia Hubley (drums, vocals), they went though a series of bassists before settling on James McNew (bass, keyboards, occasional vocals). They've achieved almost no commercial success, but have become a touchstone of indie-rock nerds everywhere thanks to their large back catalogue, consistent output, and endearing songcraft, which is based on a beguiling mix of [[The Kinks|Kinks]]-esque pop-rock, [[Velvet Underground]] balladry, and [[Sonic Youth]] squall and fuzz. The latter helped popularise them in [[The Nineties]], to the point that they toured with [[My Bloody Valentine (band)|My Bloody Valentine]] and [[Dinosaur Jr.|Dinosaur Jr]] in 1992. |
