Daniel Johnston Performing at a Church Later This Month

In a few weeks time, Daniel Johnston will be performing a special concert at Austin's downtown St. David's Episcopal Church (map). Tickets ($20-$35) for the Nov. 20th show are surely not to be around much longer for the Austin legend, so don't procrastinate. (via)

By the way, not sure if you've seen Where The Wild Things Are yet, but Karen O covers Daniel Johnston's "Worried Shoes" for the soundtrack. Listen to her version down below and also be sure to check out Johnston's original as well.

Native Korean Rock Live Video

We first told you about YYY's Karen O's new side project Native Korean Rock this past Friday. Her first show was last night at the Union Pool in Brooklyn and here's a video to prove it.

Miss Modern Age was at the show and has some amazing pictures and some more video. Check out her site at The Modern Age (it's one of our favorites).

Karen O side project

The Yeah Yeah Yeah's front woman has a new side project "Native Korean Rock" and will be performing (2 shows/1 night) at the Union Pool in Brooklyn on the 21st of July. Here are the details we have on the show. You can also get a listen of these very impressive songs on the bands MySpace page. They only have 67 friends so add them too! Ha Ha :)

[Native Korean Rock]

Native Korean Rock is a side project of mine comprised of a body of love songs written over the last two years, to be performed with a motley crew of NYC natives. Expect high drama, high stakes in two intimate performances.

Does Native Korean Rock have anything to do with Yeah Yeah Yeahs? NO

Are these the leaked demos of years ago? NO
