Summerfest boasts a wealth of world-class performers playing each night, but there seems to be a shortage of lady energy. Of the handful of acts featuring female members, Yeah Yeah Yeahs carry the most cachet. (Sorry, Pat Benatar.) Fronted by the incomparable Karen O, this New York-based indie rock trio burst onto the scene a decade ago with the full-length debut Fear To Tell, which included “Maps,” the band’s biggest hit to date. After three Grammy nominations, two more albums and one short hiatus – mainly so O could compose the soundtrack for 2010’s Where The Wild Things Are – the band is back and better than ever with the newly released Mosquito, led by dark and dour single “Sacrilege.”
