‘I’m here to ask Rob to do a record and hopefully you guys will be the band!” And that was it. When we were in the studio I just knew — sometimes you’re in the studio and it’s just a pain and things can take all day to do one simple part. This was different. Pretty much everything was done on the first take. One time PK asked if we could go back for “For Your Lies” and he came up with that solo and everybody had goosebumps. It was like something really spooky just happened in the studio. It was really cool. Even though you’ve never left the local scene, there are a lot of people who remember you from The Bleeding Knees days. Did you worry about competing against your past? Unfortunately, I have to worry about it because many people still want the original thing that we did. I don’t know if you ever saw The Bleeding Knees, but we weren’t very good. The songs were very simple. It was mostly girls although we had a different guy on bass for each gig. People would say, “Karen, you’re like Pebbles & Bamm Bamm.” We were silly. Every song made fun of something and people loved it and laughed. Read each issue at www.NJArtsMag.com pg 47
