I think I originally said Quadruped would be out Winter 2009, I said it some point back in Summer 2009. The schedule slipped but I'm on track for March 2010.
Kaki's releases are:
...Until We Felt Red (2006)
Day Sleeper (Australian tour EP) (2007)
Dreaming of Revenge (2008)
Black Pear Tree (2008) (With The Mountain Goats)
Mexican Teenagers EP (2009)
Junior (2010), to be released April 13. [14]
...so between the original Quadruped announcement and the actual release which will happen end of March 2010 by my calculation, which might be wrong, she will have released the same number of CDs as me! SO THERE ;)
Oh and please remember she does this for a living, I'm don't, I have to hold down a 'real' job :( |

I don't think I've ever been to a gig of such contrast. Part kingly, part cacky; there were moments when everything came together - and moments when it all fell apart.
At the opener, a driving 7/8 drum and counterpoint number with KK on her 'O' uke, I thought I was back at Man Poly in '81 when Messrs Fripp, Belew and Levin introduced their awesome 'Discipline'. But that discipline was missing later, when Ms. King struggled to pull together much of her band's new material. Lines like, 'We've never managed to play this one right live!' really didn't help me to hear past the out-of-sync delay effects and fluffed chords. OK, so London was only the 2nd night of a lengthy worldwide tour and by the time this band is on the home straight you'll probably be able to *smell* the polish. But even so...
Our heroine had two accomplices for the evening; a hard-hitting drummer (he broke a snare during one of the new tracks) and a guy with what looked like a large black pistol pointed into his mouth. I was on the point of rushing onto the stage to stop him topping himself when I noticed that the weapon had 'Moog' printed on the side, and was more like one of those things you spray the greenfly off your roses with. Anyway, it was connected via a laptop and some black boxes to an Ampeg bass stack, and he was blowing into it like a demented tuba player (aren't they all?) - so I decided it must be normal and I just don't get out enough. Apart from the uke, Kaki played a Strat, a Hamer hollowbody and a lap steel.
But it was when she dismissed the guys and picked up the model -KK head-gasket Adamas partway through the set that heaven briefly dwelt on earth and her trademark 2-hand tapping, hammering and scratching the carbon weave wove an ordered musical beauty into the chaos. Shame then that we had to descended again into the sheer wall of noise that is her new material. 'That wasn't rehearsed - we thought we'd just jam out on one chord as long as we could!', she apologised. Indeed.
But then Robert Fripp would approve. After all, it's all about making as much noise and having as much fun as you can with one guitar.

That's a well written review. If you don't already work for some entertainment magazine, maybe you should. ;) |

Looked up the wind synth used in Kaki's band: for accuracy not a Moog but a Steiner EVI. If that matters to anyone. |
