Yeah Yeah Yeahs are set to perform at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco with a focus on an intimate, acoustic-centered rendition of their music. The tour features Imaad Wasif, a seasoned musician, who has contributed significantly to the band's sound. Wasif shares insights into the emotional depth and intimacy achieved during this tour. In addition, he recently released a single, a cover of Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's "I See a Darkness," reflecting his artistic journey and resonating with personal struggles. Wasif's early experiences with the original song have informed his current musical approach.
"It's a wild ride," Wasif tells 48Hills about rounding out the group as second guitarist. "This tour is very special to me because we are reimagining Yeah Yeah Yeahs' catalog and I'm getting to explore much more of the acoustic textures and tap into an intimacy within the songs."
"It's always been hanging around my psyche, somewhere up in the cobwebs in my mind since I first heard it in 1999," says Wasif. "I always wanted to cover it."
"It's been a difficult few years personally, and also not to speak trivially, for the state of the world, but the waves keep coming," he says. "This song just kept resonating for me."
