The Karen and Nick Connection..................
First time I met Nick, I was really drunk, and I talked to him for, like, three seconds," she says. "And then he jumped in a cab, and for some reason I wanted to cry. I felt like I was supposed to know him." They started an acoustic duo called Unitard but decided to recruit Chase -- an old Oberlin friend of O's who is always playing in a few different bands at all times -- in hopes of putting together a "provocative and hip and cool and sexy" rock band like the ones O used to go see in Manhattan when she was in high school: the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Blonde Redhead and Jonathan Fire*Eater."I get really snobby about boring shows," she says. "That's why we started this band in the first place. I wasted so much time seeing fucking boring shows!"
There is a Unitard demo CD which has 9 tracks on including a raw acoustic version of Our time. Our time is to be released on the NYC compilation.
