Yo La Tengo formed in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1984 and since 1992, the lineup has consisted of Ira Kaplan (guitars, vocals), Georgia Hubley (drums, vocals), and James McNew (bass, vocals). They have been called “the quintessential critics' band” with multiple classic albums over multiple decades. They are also known for their encyclopedic repertoire of cover songs performed live and on record.
