With
It's Blitz! garnering plaudits from the most reputable media outlets, as well as the band dominating late night talk show spots in the US, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are now riding a wave of goodwill through the UK.
The three-piece played at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in the UK over the weekend. And according the
Guardian's review of the show, Karen O has lost none of her verve:
With a stamp of her booted foot, Orzolek shoots glitter over the
crowd, but her performance doesn't need such showbiz touches. As
confrontational as Siouxsie Sioux and as sensual as Debbie Harry,
Orzolek has a theatrical playfulness all her own. Covering her head
with the hood of her dress and a long, diaphanous scarf, she writhes on
the floor, dances with abandon and pulls what quickly becomes her party
trick: lodging her microphone in her mouth and growling while bending
backwards, hands at her sides.
We hear they'll be in Australia mid year. You know there's a festival in Byron Bay mid year right? For now, have a look what's in store.
