I kind of assumed we had heard the last of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs after Karen O almost won an Oscar for “Moon Song” from the movie Her (and she would have, too, if it hadn’t been for that meddling Frozen).

Chloe Chaidez tore the stage apart as she shimmied, shook, and snarled across every inch of the boards. Backed up … Continue reading Kitten-Like A Stranger EP
