One of my surprise albums so far this year has been Junior by Kaki King. Kaki is as cute as she is an amazing guitarist, and the album is full of great guitar melodies, almost folk like in a way. Did I mention she's cute?
She's toured out here a few times, including the opening slot for the Foo Fighters on their last tour, where apparently Dave Grohl ranked her as a guitar god. Her playing style involves a lot of fret tapping, guitar slapping and general rhythmic sounds that aren't entirely natural to a guitar; although on the latest album Junior it's less noticable.
Kaki will be spending a few weeks in our country doing some festivals, but we're lucky enough to get a club performance. So come catch her at the Zoo on November 20.
