As well as showcasing her new album Crush Songs during her first London solo gigs, Karen O also performed two unique covers. Check them out below. 

As NME reports, during her gig at London's Bush Hall on 4 and 5 October, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs acompanied by a three piece backing band (and a drum machine) performed 1970 Doors' track 'Indian Summer'. During her encore she performed a brief cover of Radiohead's 'High and Dry'.

  The rest of her set was composed overwhelmingly from her new solo album Crush Songs, with the addition 'San Fran', 'Hideaway' from the Where The Wild Things Are soundtrack and 'The Moon Song' that featured in Spike Jonze's film Her.

Karen O played:

'NYC Baby'
'Ooo'
'Indian Summer'
'Visits'
'Rapt'
'Other Side'
'So Far'
'Beast'
'Comes The Night'
'Sunset Sun'
'Hideaway'
'San Fran'
'King'
'Body'
'Native Korean Rock'
'Day Go By'
'High And Dry'
'Singalong'
'The Moon Song'

Karen O recently explained her solo debut by explaining: "When I was 27 I crushed a lot. I wasn’t sure I’d ever fall in love again. These songs were written and recorded in private around this time. They are the soundtrack to what was an ever continuing love crusade. I hope they keep you company on yours."
