I've been crazy busy working on my application package for Ryerson (I'm applying for a MA in Media Production) and pushed my updates to the side. But now that I've dropped off my manila envelope of portfolio, statement of intent and various other personal information pages, I'm back to report on the amazingness of Karen O.
Yeah Yeah Yeah's played the Kool Haus on Aug. 4th, supported by Amanda Blank. I skipped Blank's set because I feel there's enough Madonna wannabe's in this world. Dinner on a patio with friends and beer superceed Blank's set 8 out of 7 days a week.
I arrived at the show just in time to run into a couple excited friends, grab a beer and struggle my way through the typical screw-face audience for a prime position about 12 people away from the front of the stage.
The moment Karen O came on stage covered in Middle Eastern-inspired garb, the crowd swelled and I didn't stop moving until about 45mins into the set. I gave up my prime real estate to a younger, shorter audience and hit the back half of the club for a beer and come-down.
The National Post ran a half-decent review here.
