Karen O |
|
Singer/yelper
of the New York art-punk band The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O is best known for
her don't-mess-with-me-crooning and orgasmic screeching, and most of all her
unique fashion sense. You’d be let down if you went to a Yeah
Yeah Yeah’s gig and
she wasn’t wearing blindingly bright eye-shadow. |

Discovered
in the wake of the Strokes' popularity and the subsequent garage rock
revival, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs comprise singer Karen O, guitarist Nicolas Zinner,
and drummer Brian Chase. O met Chase at Ohio's Oberlin College and met Zinner
through friends after she transferred to N.Y.U. Zinner and O formed the band
in 2000 and recruited Chase when their original drummer bowed out. The
Yeah Yeah Yeahs wrote a slew of songs at their first rehearsal and
soon wound up supporting the Strokes and the
White Stripes, earning a significant buzz for their arty-yet-sexy
take on garage punk. |
