Karen O gave fans a live offering of the 'Show Your Bones' track.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O and bandmate Nick Zinner have given fans a quarantine performance of their Show Your Bones track 'Phenomena'.
The socially-distant show was set entirely in Karen O's closet, with Zinner and Brian Chase on a laptop screen covered in tinsel.
“Party anywhere (closet) anytime (any day of the week) safe at home,” the 41-year-old singer (full name Karen Lee Orzole) wrote in the Instagram caption.
Never one to bore her audience, O began the performance in a pharaoh hat.
The singer also performed Yeah Yeah Yeahs deep cut 'Our Time' last month, so more isolation shows could be on the cards.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs had their summer touring plans cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, much like all musicians.

“This year we’ve had to cancel shows and it sucks; I’m sad and feeling it,” Chase wrote on Instagram recently.
“BUT, there is no other choice – it had to happen out of care and concern for people’s health and well being – no question. At this time (just as much as ever) we are acutely aware of how much our lives are intertwined with each other’s. From the perspective on stage, the audience is there rejoicing together – gender, race, religion etc. are one; from this perspective, also, ‘time’ stops and what matters most is that feeling of rejoicing – a form of care and concern for people’s health and well being. Can’t wait to play for you and share these moment again!”
