Stuff at Night (Boston, MA)
3rd February 2004
Here at S@n, we don't just throw the word "swear" around like a pair of
tattered, skid-marked undies (ewww). In fact, we're so fabulosly non committal, you'd
have a tough time spotting even a few instances where we've sworn to anything at
all. That's why what we're about to say is so shocking: if you've never heard Kaki
King, we swear that you've never heard anything remotely like this before. The
show tonight at Harpes Ferry (156 Brighton Avenue, Allston) will change the
way you think about music forever. Straight from the subways of Manhattan comes a
girl who can do things with a guitar you never thought possible, establishing herself
firmly among the likes of Clapton, Page, and Hendrix. Thumbing bass lines, tapping
melodies, and slapping beats, King is like an entire band rolled into one small and
very, very cute package. |
