It was dark, but the black lighting that illuminated the dark setting seemed to brighten only what was important, creating an intense mood for the set that followed.
Singer Karen O welcomed her shrieking fans with a toss of her light-catching, silver tinsel boa that heightened the drama of her entrance on stage. The songstress’ words flowed with ease as she slithered around the stage in spandex, seducing fans with contortionist-like moves.
After rocking tracks off their new Is Is EP, the trio surprised fans with a special acoustic version of their long-time hit “Maps.” Accompanying the serenity of O’s voice and the acoustic guitar were the many tiny reflections of a large disco ball scattered amongst the small theater, thus capturing the intimacy of this one-off show and the incredible versatility of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
