‘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.
