Karen O alleviates boredom with new side project
The last we checked, Karen O and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were busy playing with cats and working on a new studio album. As much time as this takes up, the New York based band’s frontlady has still found time to work on not one, but two side-efforts.
While the current status of Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are might likely prevent us from hearing Orzolek’s work on the film’s soundtrack, details and sounds of her other new project have already made their way to the web.

Native Korean Rock is a side project of mine comprised of a body of love songs written over the last two years, to be performed with a motley crew of NYC natives. Expect high drama, high stakes in two intimate performances.
Does Native Korean Rock have anything to do with Yeah Yeah Yeahs? NO
Are these the leaked demos of years ago? NO

As Karen notes, Native Korean Rock will play two “intimate shows”. Both shows performances be on July 21 at Union Pool. The Fishnets will be adding support.
