That is exactly why we wanted him back. The Skuobie Dubh Orchestra were the first band to play the Lemon Tree and the first band to sell it out. I believe there will be some ex Orchestra members in the KC band and pretty definite there will be some old Orchestra songs along with all the new classics of course.

bump for biog...
In 1995 Kenny Anderson, then lead singer/songwriter for the Skuobhie Dubh Orchestra and Khartoum Heroes, launched his own record label with his own solo project, King Creosote. Demoralised and with a healthy cynicism of all things music related, KC set out to make home recorded music in as stress-free an environment as possible. In short, the heels were dug in, and the East Neuk of Fife became home to Fence Records and the Fence Collective. With countless lo-fi leftfield-folk CD-R albums behind him, the prolific KC launched himself into mainstream consciousness in 2003 with the Domino-backed ‘proper’ release of Kenny and Beth’s Musakal Boat Rides, followed up by the critically acclaimed Rocket DIY (2005), KC Rules OK (2005) and Bombshell (2007). After recent tour supports with Squeeze, KT Tunstall and Belle & Sebastian, plus an appearance on Later with Jools Holland, KC’s cottage industry is rapidly reaching skyscraper heights. It is entirely appropriate that the King of the Kingdom returns to this venue on its welcome back weekend, given that the Skuobhie Dubh’s were the first band to play the Lemon Tree and the first also to sell-out the place! Expect a heady blend of “fuzzed up atmospherics”, “bargain bin Casio beats” and “sea shanties from the afterlife” all dispatched with “a sharp wit and a sublime melodic shine.” KC Rules, a’right? “a genre standard bearer for lovelorn alt.folk with a dagger-like tartan twist” [The Guardian] “A night of unhinged mayhem - there’s always a party spirit, musical surprises and a sense that anything goes.” [The List] ”what a smartarse!” [Fence Records] http://www.myspace.com/kingcreosote http://www.fencerecords.com |
