Michelle Zauner (Japanese Breakfast) described the influence of the concert: “My friend had the DVD of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs live at the Fillmore. Seeing Karen O for the first time changed my life. She spat water all over herself and used the microphone in ways I had never seen before... Finding out that she was half-Korean in the super white male dominated industry was just mind blowing. It was such a life-changing moment for me... I felt so connected to her and she was such an important role model in my life.”[1]
