Guitarist Ira Kaplan's assured, noisy and innovative guitar work, coupled with wife Georgia Hubley's sublime, angelic vocals, has made for some of the best Indie Rock of the '80s and '90s. A perennial critical favorite, Yo La Tengo have consistently released engaging, challenging pop music that is defiant of trends, and they maintain a fiercely devoted cult following not unlike a modern-day Velvet Underground.
Since the mid-1980s, this Hoboken, N.J., trio has won the hearts of many with their eclectic, creative guitar/organ-driven sound.
