Oh Mama, can this really be a case of blatent self promotion? You bet yer fricken sweet twisted little word freak minds it is… Well OK the theme of today’s show is the incredible Karen Hunter who just happens to be doing a show this Fri Night with a duo that also features heavy on the today stakes Beautiful Losers featuring a certain poetry junkie mr Shane Hollands. So stick a limerick in me eye and call me a self propogating agenderist, I don’t give a toss because when shit is this good, (And if you’ve ever seen Karen or Beautiful Losers perform you know I aint lyin’) then you just gotta holla it from the rooftops, ya know what I mean.

Karen is serious talent, I think she must have a Jazz bone because she rips it like she was suckled on Coltraine and had Thelonius as her first solids… Karen will be performing with a full kick-ass band including such Jazz luminiares as Ron Samson, who when he’s not touring major jazz festivals throughout Canada and New Zealand happens to coordinates the Jazz Studies department at the University of Auckland, Niel Watson & Aaron Coddel.

I’m excited as a mexican jumping bean to be appearing on the same stage as her and keen to unvieling to our peeps some new material that Paul and I have been secretly working on in The Lab…. It’s only our third gig that we have done together since reforming this year. Beautiful Losers was a genre defying concept right from the begining, Paul Williams has redefined the cello with the inception of Cellotronix a bold mix of technology and traditional instriment building soundscapes out of the multitute of noises a cello can produce using a fisherman pickup & (amoungst other devices) an Akia Headrush Loopstation leaving me to simply BeatSpeak into the audio dreams created and if you ask me we sound better that ever.

So if your within a stone’s thrown of The Big AK City (Auckland to you buddy!) on Fri Night, Turn off the PS3, Shut down yer xbox, put yer foot through the TV set and UTurn yer Utube to get some real culture in the form of ScrapYard Caberet @ The Thirsty Dog On the dirty old K Rd Kickstarting late like at 9.30pm or you’re really lost to it buddy, lost like a Beautiful Loser…

Also, I do believe that to wag yer ears off I may be having both Karen Hunter & Paul Williams in the studio with me today yakking about Wordz, Muses, Music, Cellotronix and all things Phonic as well as (Drum rolL…) tHe KiLlaSeTliZT yep squizz yer peepers southwardz for that about now and (Please) don’t take my wordz for it
