Kaki King

Post by Jeremy Steele »

I could have cross-posted this one in the "Music" section in the thread on loopers and one-man(or woman)-bands...I think she's great.

Thanks! I always enjoy out-of-the-box playing. That's a hell of looping setup she's got there! If you've never heard her play "standard" guitar, prepare to be blown away! She's one of those musical mutants :mrgreen:

A good friend of mine is a good friend of Kaki. I have yet to meet her, though.

She's truly amazing at times.
Like Imogen Heap.

I would presume that was not her at her best unless we are referring to to her handling of electronic gadgetry.

I figured I would bump this with another video I found to be more jaw dropping.

Just got turned onto her tonight, there's not too many musicians out there I haven't heard or seen. She's got it. Make sure to make it into the song a few minutes before you give up, it gets better.

Shes not really my bag, I guess it's over my head. BUT I will say that I've never seen anything quite like it! Shoot, if I had a looper like that I don't think I could do anything like that...

I try to give credit where credit is due... so I give it 2 thumbs up!

Yes, a young lady of prodigous talent, seen quite a bit of her work and admire her very much.
