Tuesday’s Tune: The Knife
I spent a somewhat challenging day on Saturday when I attended the annual Jo’burg Day music festival with my family and a couple of teenaged friends. The sun blazed unforgivingly to a soundtrack of what amounted to pop karaoke. Then it clouded over and rained. And rained. I was greatly relieved when the kids asked when we were going.
But then, my cold, miserable daughter and her even more miserable friend vetoed any plans of beating a hasty retreat: Zebra & Giraffe had appeared. And I could see why; good sound, good writing, good performance.
Z&G is Greg Carlin. Yes, there was a full band performing, but Carlin is the self-contained creative force behind the band. He made his debut album, Collected Memories, virtually unassisted. It’s electronic rock that’s got a vaguely 80′s feel to it when – Carlin was probably still in nappies.
Every girl in the audience was mouthing the words to every song in their set, but it was The Knife that seemed to get the biggest response.
