While we're on the subject of quality music (see post below), let me tell you all about a super talented girl I used to work with named Kiki. She is an illustrator and musician, oh and even had her own clothing line. I don't think I'll ever meet anyone as kooky as Kiki. She was always writing quirky and surreal lyrics and harmonising to whatever song was playing at work whilst hoovering. During this time she was in a band called Dokkebi Q, described as something like Japanese hardcore psychedelic heavy electro punk dub. They were successful and revered in the dubstep scene, they also performed at the prestigious SXSW '08 in Austin, Texas... Fast forward to the present, Kiki is now in King Midas Sound, the newest alter ego of Kevin Martin (best known as The Bug) and also a collaboration with vocalist Roger Robinson. They have been described as 'Bristol sound-inspired'. Craigski told me at the record shop he works at, KMS are popular with the customers. Woop! Congrats Kiki (and of course the rest of the KMS).
