I learned about Izumi from you. Love that girl. I would do lots of soul-sucking things to yodel like her.

And wow, thanks for the promo! And Zoe too! I’m going to visit her in July, we will be promoting the hell out of you.

Byjimini: The woman wails like Janis Joplin and keeps a kazoo in her bra. How could I not be in that crowd?

There’s a 6 minute interview somewhere on Youtube with them, can’t find it now but I downloaded it last night and watched it this morning. The same old questions of “how did you meet, what are your inspirations” etc but great to see what they’re like away from the stage, albeit briefly.

Trying to keep away from the “cor blimey I’d give her one” crowd myself, it would be great for them to be appreciated for their style of music, at least until the militant feminists catch wind of an all-female band and they get marketed as Girl Power, as most girl bands seem to these days.

Proof that Katzenjammer play the uke. I hope that justifies my going crazy over them.

Even to this straight uke playin’ female, those skiffle gals are smokin’ hot. Yowza. Please pass the skiffle!

cbf: Tiples definitely count. Particularly when the song is that good.

Jake: Thanks for your contribution.

todd: Don’t get me started on kazoos after what happened in the Katzenjammer video.

Todd

Ooh, thanks for the post!

Also: the Izumi tracks are great! And there’s nothing like playing on a boat… though how cozy that balalaikabass player is… is up for discussion. :)

And like CBF said: it seems like I snuck under the radar with the tiple!

And for anyone who hasn’t played one: they’re the greatest instrument I’ve ever played (for singing with). Comfortable, smallish, lush sound, and completely different from anything anyone else will take to a session.
