Karen O, Nick Zinner, and Brian Chase prove that they definitely have lasting power in the rock world with their beautiful album full of tragically twisted love songs (think “Maps” x10). Best tracks included the effervescent-sounding song about giving up on a damaged love affair, “Cheated Hearts”, and down and dirty interplanetary rock tune, “Phenomena”, an ode to a mind-blowing somebody.

You know what I mean. Something about going to Roseland always brings out crazy dudes who just want to push little girls down to the ground. I saw two guys get into a fight as one guy was leaving. Seriously, who gets into fights just as they are about to go? Some drunk guy turned around, screamed at me and gave me a face full of his Jack and Coke scented breath as I walked out of the concert for no real reason. The wonderful Maxwell’s show it was not.

The crowd was not very into the show, despite being subjected to some stage antics like Karen eating green feathers during “Honey Bear” (she had to tell everyone to “Hold up, I gotta pick the feathers out of my teeth” several times after the song finished) and having us sing “Happy Birthday” to her mom sitting in the balcony. (Her birthday was in 3 days.) Karen was even wearing the most ridiculous circus-performer attacked by lamé and a Be-dazzler half leotard/skirt thing [Ed. note: she was just tapping into the zeitgeist; this concert came at the height of the figure skating competitions during the 2006 Winter Olympics]. Nothing. Nada. Didn’t do one iota for the folks there. Which probably makes it a really difficult task to get amped about performing. The band even nicked doing “Date with the Night” for the much slooooower “Modern Romance.” Let me just leave you with this, right before Karen sang “Our Time” she went on a little rant about how she lives in LA now and asking the audience not to “judge” her for what she’s been working on all by herself with “no friends”. Want to know how the crowd reacted? A mix of booing and uninterested silence. Way to go guys." I cannot take credit for the total lame-ass-ity of the crowd (indie-hipster/industry clusterfuck much, Interscope Records?), but I am the one who started the booing. Karen O in L.A. is like a ruby encrusted diamond in a sea of sponges. She needs to be here in NYC (or at least next door in The Jerse) keeping us jaded, soulless iconoclasts a'clasting. She is this generation's Joan Jett (the comercailly viable badassness), PJ Harvey (the dangerous femininity), Pat Benatar (the hooks), Blondie (the sass), Chrissie Hynde ("the rhythm and vocal cadence"), and Linda Rondstandt (those outfits!) rolled into one. I am happy to report that the vortex of the fly-over states has not diminished the pure yowza of her and her fellow Yeahs' music, even if it didn't carry over the freshman rambunctiousness. In the words of the O(C?)-ster, "dance like a warrior" bitches. It's f'n rock 'n' roll!

BIG TIME. So bad that everyone pissed me off enough to write this rant after the Friday show. To quote the guitarist: MAXWELL’S: “Showtime. We’re escorted through the crowd, and of course, when we hit the stage, everything is fine. duh. why do i do this to myself? Its a rough, sloppy, and aggressive show, and people are screaming, jumping, dancing, sweating. We try playing an acoustic version of “maps,” which we haven’t practiced, and i butcher it trying to remember my parts on the spot, but the sentiment is there for us on stage, and seemingly strong in the crowd too.” [...] [...] In his entries from the Maxwell’s show and the first Bowery Ballroom show, Nick confirms my idea that the New Jersey show was great and the Bowery Ballroom show sucked balls.

Yes the crowd sucked and the set was short, but the new songs rocked and Karen O as always put on a great energized show. Love her cute bowl cut. Now beer baths, though, regrettably.
