Description:
for people who listen to the yeah yeah yeahs mostly for karen o's sexy voice.

Karen O is one of rock's most intense singers, coming on so badass you'd swear the devil sold his soul to her.

She has a raw sex appeal, belting out hot orgasmic screeches and singing blistering provocative lyrics like "cold light/hot night/be my heater, by my lover/ and we could do it to each other." Not to mention her feverish and feral performance antics. She's known to dance like a crotch-grabbing drunk and stick both a beer bottle and a mic down her throat to simulate pain to her stage-energy as she's violently gurgling and spilling the alcohol that's only being half-swallowed. She doesn't cite many influences although the press insists that she's a female Iggy Pop in her prime. "My performance pretty much happens naturally and organically on stage because growing up, I didn't have much to reference to what made sense to me," she states. "Touring's really exhausting in every way, more so in my case because I'm really into giving a good show and I'm completely uncompromising with that to the point where I'd rather just not play a show at all if I'm not all into it. But I've managed to stick by and know what I'm capable of 'cause there is a lot of external pressures."

Her ethnic background is not so obvious as her dynamic rock persona, however. Karen, who was born in Korea, says that her whole ethnic experience has been quite "strange." Her mother is full Korean and her father is Caucasian but they decided not to enforce the culture onto her and her younger brother out of a desire for them to fit in while they were growing up on the East Coast. "My mom is definitely Asian looking but I didn't even realize that she was Korean until I was 7 or 8. I was sort of half-Caucasian to the world as I was growing up," Karen recalls. "When I hit 7th or 8th grade, you become really really self-conscious about fitting in, and that's when I was sort of ashamed that I was half Asian. I didn't realize how much of an asset that is until I went to college and I had this real desire to explore that side of me that I've been neglecting for so long. Now it's like I'd rather much be half-breed than all white. Now days I have a much easier time with it."

This indie goddess not only rips the stage apart and victimizes beer bottles and mics in her glamorously sleazy outfits but further pushes the envelope as a 'hapa' with a unique ethnic experience who strives to appreciate her identity.

    Hello! My name is Oscar and I’m from Mexico. I have a little favor to you. My best friend’s name is Ana Laura and she celebrates her 17 birthday this year. She’s such a great person, so I would like to give her a special gift – a video with people from all over the world, who wish her all the best (you can say whatever you want :) ). If you want to help me, please, record yourself with wishes for my friend in your native language or English (It would be great if you could record a video in a famous place, for example: Big Ben in London, but it's not necessary, of course). I ask you to write me what language is this and to write your wishes in English too, because I’ll translate them from English into Spanish. I’ll be thankful if you could send a video to my e-mail address. I’ll be very grateful for every video. Thanks in advance! E-mail: fluorocarbono@hotmail.com :) If you would like to ask about something write on my shout box or e-mail too. Gracias!
