The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs have just released Show Your Bones, the follow up to their hugely successful 2003 album Fever to Tell. Born out of the New York garage scene, the single Maps put them on the map and they havent looked back since. I caught up with the incredible Karen O before the band embarked on their latest tour.

Check out the Yeah ,Yeah, Yeahs website

Missy Suicide: Hi, how are you?

Karen O: Good, how are you?

MS: Im doing good. First of all, I just wanted to congratulate you...

I expected an interview with Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Last I checked, Karen O is not Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Hopefully this interview can be re-labeled so the title accurately reflects the content.

She kicks ass. Coolest rocker around at the moment. Show Your Bones turned out to be VERY awesome.

i'm insanely disaapointed by Show Your Bones. because Fever to Tell is one of the most kickass things i have ever heard, and Show Your Bones is just so watered down compared to it. where'd the screaming go?

Oh my god. SHE TALKS ABOUT PERIODS. She rocks me really really really hard. And "Turn Into" is probably my favorite song on that gorgeous album, I'm glad it's hers too. But yeah, Karen O =/= the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Relabel the article.

Karen O is the coolest! I'm a little disappointed with the new album, though...I think it's what happens to most bands when they record with a bigger label, it gets a bit watered down and overproduced. I miss the last album's piss and vinegar.

Hopefully someone stamps something on your forehead so it accurately reflects the content.

I get to see them in St. Louis *Happy*
Show Your Bones is a different side of them and I like it...My faves are Honeybear, Cheated Hearts, and Turn Into...
