Gonzales is a Canadian living in Berlin, releasing on kitty-yo (www.kitty-yo.de). indeed he is a character. i haven't yet heard this release, but here is something i posted not long ago about seeing him live... cheers susan last weekend i witnessed a performance by gonzales from berlin. the venue was in a rather small town in germany called Dortmund, suprisingly where dj vadim's tour hit and packed in a whopping 10 or 15 people a few years ago (just to give you an idea of the type of audience here). first i'd like to say that this performance was somehow subsidized by the town's performing art committee, probably unbeknownst to them. the (cough) song (cough) that was performed as I walked in was "Do You Wanna Fock", being chanted by Peaches, Gonzales' aptly christened sidekick who skips through the audience in pink hot pants sporting what is best described as a honeydew melon underneath her belly. the two have a remarkable amusing stage presence, and market themselves as entertainers, which is exactly the most appropriate way to describe them. Their "gear" consists of a receiver, a dual cassette deck and a contraption Jack Dangers would probably make musical history with, however Peaches simply hops over to tweak a knob or two from time to time, an effort resulting in such a sophisticated sound it was obviously not audible to my virgin ears. This being said, the performance was odd and offensive, served up exactly the way i love it. from hip hop beats to hardcore punk noise to moonlight sonatas, the dashing duo had a theme for each piece, one line of vocals repeated over and over throughout its' respective track, laying on the stage, crawling through the audience, sitting on somebody's passed out noggin, etc. hysterical. probably the best and worst musical experience, intended to be just that- highly recommended in a venue that allows you to step in and check the show every hour or so. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
