How Did You Discover Kaki?

On T.V? Word of mouth? How did u find out about her?

for me it was while watching Letterman, she was playing Playing with Pink Noise...and i was like, wtf is that awesome girl with the blue bubble guitar. and thus it began.

I learned about Kaki King from a friend of mine during the summer before 'Until We Felt Red...' was released. She insisted I listen to Kaki's music. Initially, I was taken aback by the falsettos of some of the songs on UWFR. It wasn't until I listened to her older material that I started enjoying the new sounds. I quite enjoy the soundscape kk's been creating lately.

hmmm...

ok. i had heard her name a few times and just remembered it cuz i didnt know how to pronounce it. i later saw ...until we felt red and legs to make us longer in a best buy and just bought them. i fell in love.

I discoverd her on youtube. Just by accident i saw a picture of a girl with a guitar, and offcourse i checked it out. I think i just sat behind my computer with my mouth open for like 2 hours watching her play!!!!!!
I saw her two times in belgium and one time in the netherlands. she's amazing!!!!!!

Through Youtube, and other Guitar sites..
i was like what guy would be called Kaki?
then i searched for her on youtube and say edmman's neanderthal at tower records, fell in love instantly..

I've been thinking long and hard about this because i couldny believe that i didnt remember how i got into her....

I`ve come up with a good story that i think its how it happened: the thing is that I really like womens voices in song beter than a man`s, so i went all over the intener looking for woman-singing bands (sleater kinney, the breeders, pj harvey, the go! team, the duke spirit etc) and i guees in that crazy search period i found kaki, and i must say is the best of all....

Through Tegan & Sara

I remember that I saw her video "Playing wit Pink Noise" on TV
I really liked the song and so I bought the cd

i was browsing through a the website of a local chain record store (rasputin's) and saw pictures of live in-store performances.

i happened to come upon pictures of kaki king, and was very intrigued... so i googled her.

Wow. It was dangerously close to five years ago now. I saw her play "Close Your Eyes and You'll Burst Into Flames" on Late Night with Conan O'Brien just on a whim; and I fell in love. Completely and uttered floored by it, and I've been obsessing ever since.

tegan and sara, too. hehe

So one day I'm sitting on the internet going through my Flickr photos and friends' pictures, and all the while I was on the phone with an old friend of mine from North Carolina who is now a painter and makes some really pretty paintings, collages and things and we get to talking about music and I told her that I was sick and tired of all the "smut" I had been listening to and needed something new and exciting in my ears. Granted this was only a month ago I think. So the name "Kaki King" comes out of her mouth and she demanded that I look her up right then and there. I looked her up on youtube because it is one of the easiest ways to listen to music nowadays without having to leave the room, and I don't think I was able to utter another word after putting on the first video I saw, which was Playing With Pink Noise. My friend told me some songs that she thought I'd like but I honestly couldn't remember them and still can't. Now I just own all her CDs and I don't get enough. It has even changed the way I look at the guitar (even though I am in now way shape or form as good as kaki is and Hell I doubt I'll get anywhere near that level. The amount of talent that pours out of her fingertips floors my jaw. Long Live Kaki King.
