Sydney ghetto ambient group Seekae (pronounced ‘C’ ‘K’ in homage to platform pioneer Commander Keen) are the new Enya. Our taxi driver told us this, and although his argument for such a ridiculous assertion was Richie-thin, we believe he has a strong point.
We won’t get into that. Of more interest is how you can claim you’re ‘ghetto’ and then mention that you incorporate the glockenspiel into your routine. That ain’t fly.
They popped into Underground (every THURSDAY 10pm-12am FM99.3) because they’re on the cusp, the verge, and the edge of whatever follows being on the cusp, the verge, and the edge of something. Audio of the entire interview to be posted REAL SOON. Highlights included:
*admission that they’ve recently scored the theme to groundbreaking film ‘The Willpower’
*Alex regularly has his hair permed at The Salon for Hair – Turramurra (proud sponsors of North Shore FM99.3)
* they actually don’t know when or who will be releasing their forthcoming debut album
* they’re pretty sure that have a show scheduled at Will and Toby’s Supper Club, September 4
* George spent a night in with K.D. Lang during her recent Australian tour
* they’re the new Enya
* their plans to split and then reform for 2010
* the addition of DJ Meatbrick to their live act
some of the above is truer than other parts but importantly, new music was played, we dug into their live performance, some of their inspirations, and all up a good time was had.
2nd HALF OF INTERVIEW AND PODCAST OF ENTIRE SHOW TO BE POSTED MAD SOON
