kid koala has been discussed on this list -
he is a turntablist, and actually performs with a live band as well.
if you go to our website
http://www.ninjatune.net you will see that
our front page contains a live performance webcast a month ago from
a gig in toronto. he's currently doing the european festivals.. the
release section contains snippets from the album and a game, and we
have a video in the videos section.
kid koala takes reference points from steinski and coldcut, dj shadow,
and krush are his peers koala cuts
up weird unusual spoken words, familiar sounds and makes them into
new ones...when he performs live, he tells the audience he is going to
play records badly, actually he creates new sounds from old...i enjoyed
the first show so much i got on a plane to amsterdam to see him again
with his band. i sent a friend to see him in san francisco, she
never saw a dj play with a live band, and enjoyed it immensely & she
works with a rock band....
