Personifying playfulness and mystery, Yeah Yeah Yeahs [ tickets ] frontwoman Karen O makes it look easy--from the way she pulls off her weird costumes to the way she delivers full-throated vocals while doing body contortions reminiscent of "Gumby."

Though it seems like these art-punkers have always been here, the fact of the matter is they're just getting started (they formed in 2000). Yeah Yeah Yeahs are currently touring in support of their third studio album, "It's Blitz!," an outing that continues tonight (9/10) with a second show at Oakland, CA's Fox Theatre. Fans in Austin, TX, can see them next month (10/2) at the Austin City Limits Festival before they wrap things up.

Last night (9/9), with cameras in hand, I caught up with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the aforementioned Fox Theatre in Oakland, and here are some of my photos.
