I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My name is Karen Lee Orzolek, but you all know me as Karen O from the band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs . Performing is my life.
I feel the best when I'm on stage, in a packed, smelly little venue. I like to interact with the crowd and get them as into the show as I possibly can. My band-mates are some of my best friends. Brian and Nick are amazing guys.

Some of the band's influences are Joan Jett, Royal Trux, Boss Hog, Pussy Galore, Romeo Void, Blondie, Bikini Kill, and Free Kitten .

Please add away, I'm hoping this will give me a chance to connect with the fans.

I don't know why the media is having so much fun focusing on the image side of our band. We put the least amount of effort into what we look like but somehow it has preceded the music?

I guess when I was young, I really looked up to Madonna. But you know, I always wanted to be Michael Jackson; I mean, who else set a precedent for the glove? To be an influence on young girls is a huge responsibility don't you think? As for my own fans, I hope they're getting something good out of following my footsteps, whatever that may be.

Joan Jett is an amazing woman, too.

And last, but not least, my friend, Christian Joy, who makes all my great clothes you see!
