"Date With The Night" is the first single from Fever to Tell by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. This single also includes the B-side "Yeah! New York" which can also be found as a bonus track on the UK release of Fever to Tell, and an exclusive remix of "Bang" from their debut EP, Yeah Yeah Yeahs (2001).[2] The single peaked at number sixteen on the UK's official charts.[3] The video, directed by Patrick Daughters, was, supposedly, shot at Bristol University Union's Anson Rooms on Saturday 1 March 2003 but also contains scenes shot at other venues during the same tour, including The Zodiac in Oxford. The song is also available as a downloadable track for the music video game series Rock Band.[4] The song is also featured on the soundtrack for the British teen soap opera Skins[5] and is used in an episode opening scene in the second season of Netflix's Daredevil.[6][7]
