Karen O @ LPR – 9/12/14

Karen O wrapped up the 4-night NYC run of her series of intimate shows in support of her debut solo album Crush Songs at Le Poisson Rouge on Friday (9/12), which followed three shows at McKittrick Hotel’s Manderley Bar (one of which Ezra Koenig joined her at). Like at the other three, Karen’s backing band included Moses Sumney (who also opened the show) and Holly Miranda, and her Yeah Yeah Yeahs bandmate Nick Zinner joined her for a few songs. This time, the third YYY, Brian Chase, joined as well and Jason Grisell joined her for “Duet,” their collaboration from Karen’s “psycho-opera” Stop the Virgens. She played her LPR show in the round, and though she maybe didn’t move around as much as we’d have liked for the setting, she was mesmerizing as always.

Karen’s intimate shows continue in LA, starting this Wednesday (9/17). Pictures from night 1 HERE. More pictures and the setlist from LPR below…
