Yeah Yeah Yeahs, however, seem to have found a workaround (at least for now). Earlier today (May 24) Karen O shared a performance of “Phenomena” – a track on the band’s 2006 sophomore album, Show Your Bones – from her closet. Although it’s obviously no replacement for the real thing, the mini “show” is about as theatrical as it can get inside a closet, complete with a smoke machine and strobe lights. Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner also takes part in the performance via laptop. Watch below. You can also revisit Karen O talking about last year’s solo album in her 2019 interview with Dazed.
