The King & I
Kaki King Concert
Alright. Enough about the Queen visiting.
She’s not the only one touring, you know: there’s also a ‘King’ in town. It’s just that he’s a she, plays a killer guitar, and makes songs with titles like ‘Gay Sons of Lesbian Mothers’. Let me explain…
Kaki King, who’ll play at Indigo as part of tonight’s party by Rolling Stone magazine is shown as one of the best acoustic guitarists around.
She cut her teeth at instrumental indie albums like ‘Everybody Loves You’ and ‘Until We Felt Red’, but soon moved to singing and song-writing with her latest ‘Dreaming of Revenge’.
Regarded as a mixture of Michael Hedges and the great Van Halen, King made guest appearances at Foo Fighters concerts, did a song for Oscar-nominated movie ‘August Rush‘, and contributed alongside Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder to Sean Penn-directed ‘Into The Wild’, which won Golden Globe in Best Original Song.
