Live: KKC Orchestra at Edinburgh Fringe


I featured KKC Orchestra when they played at Glastonbury, so I thought a reminder that they are playing three nights at the Edinburgh Fringe was well in order.

They play on the 11th 12th and 13th of August at the Voodoo Rooms White Mink cabaret show.

The event is described as an "Electro Swing Speakeasy" so it sounds like the kind of event that they would fit right in with. With theartre and spectacle, it promises more than an average rock gig, and KKC are certainly more than an average rock band.

The publicity for the event describes the KKC Orchestra as an "Amazing French swing-beat quartet that pit jazz musician brother and sister on guitar and piano respectively against slamming beats, turntables and a French rapper. It sounds improbable but this is a jumping live act..."

The club runs throughout the Fringe, but the KKC Orchestra only plays three nights. The organiserss recommend audience members dress up "To fully participate in the White Mink experience."

The band, a four piece from Toulouse, released their first EP Dig Your Own Swing at the end of May.
