The Smoking Section caught up with Yeah Yeah Yeah's guitarist Nick Zinner recently at the opening reception to his photo exhibit, "It's OK, Don't Look at the Road."
"I'm not really interested in the whole rock and roll party vibe, and I don't really want to exploit my band like that either," he told us about his photos, which were splayed all over the walls of Manhattan's Fuse Gallery, on the Lower East Side. "So it's kind of more abstract fragments."
He confirmed the Yeah's are hard at work on their new album, but wouldn't say jack shit about it. "We're keeping it under wraps for now. There's not really much I can say; a lot of it is TBD."
That's cool. The party was still fun. Zinner welcomed TV on the Radio frontman Tunde Adebimpe and drummer Jaleel Bunton as well as former Smashing Pumpkins' guitarist James Iha. "When we toured together, he was always habitual, disciplined and routine about those pictures," Bunton told us. "He's an amazing artist. Very humble."
