MIKEY MURKA & KRIS KEMIST OVAH IN GERMANY (2006)
From April 12th to 16th Mikey Murka and Kris Kemist from Realityshock in Reading / UK
came over to Leipzig for two gigs and lots of vocal recording. Since Mikey is one of
our heros and the tracks he did for UNITY Sound back in the late 80ies
are among
our major musical influences we were looking forward to meeting up with him a lot.
What followed were some of the nicest and most intense days we ever will remember!
Especially because we could work on our tunes with a REAL professional singer for
the first time. Sheerly amazing to see Mikey (who grew up in Jamaica and comes from
that school of great singers) shaking the coolest lyrics virtually from his sleeve,
topping harmony over harmony on them within minutes... Lots of great tracks will come
from those sessions, so much is certain!
Incredible nice vibes while hanging out with Kris & Mikey all the time, rummaging
through Christoph's vinyl, listening to the small stories and anecdotes Mikey could
relate on each one of the classic tracks. Singing on them from dusk till dawn... Pure
Roots and Culture!
So absolutely check the recordings of our gigs and the fun pictures - and then click
over to REALITYSHOCK for more Iration to come! Including Mikey's new album IN THE
NAME OF LOVE! |
