The documentary isn’t the one main filmic challenge Yeah Yeah Yeahs have been related to of late. They had been additionally part of Meet Me At The Bathroom, a movie adaptation of the oral historical past by Lizzy Goodman’s acclaimed oral historical past of the early 2000s New York City music scene. Frontwoman Karen O is proven in footage from beforehand unseen interview tapes, relating her journey from Ohio’s Oberlin College by the New York anti-folk scene.
“She’s a person with a duality to her, starting with her own ethnic identity, being mixed race, but then she’s almost like two people,” director Dylan Southern instructed NME. “There’s a Jekyll and Hyde aspect to her in that she’s very, very shy, and not very forthcoming in real life but then on stage she’s created this monster. It was very liberating for her to be that person, but it was also incredibly destructive. I think the weight of the audience’s expectations on how crazy or how far she would go on stage was the thing that took its toll eventually.”
