Tonight: Karen O, who's a little saner these days

If you're the type who likes lady rockers, you've got a few choices to make tonight. The red-headed crooner Neko Case, up-and-coming rapper Amanda Diva, wild woman Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs ' they're all playing. Only the thing is, Karen O isn't so wild anymore. While the band's album Zero, which came out this year, is its best yet, I hear she's kind of calmed down her performances. In Nylon magazine, Karen said, "For one thing, I had to stop pouring beer on myself for practical reasons. It ruins your costumes. They would just reek. I switched to water."

Hm, true. And I'm glad she's keeping the costumes. And, to be honest, I'm kind of glad she's playing it straight. Let Zero speak for itself.

Wed., July 29, 8:30 p.m., $25, Electric Factory, 421 N. 7th St., 215-627-1332, electricfactory.info.
