welcome
Hi ya my name is gregore watson & this is my new blog about 80's lo fi cassette legend K Z williams III .. something of a hero of mine ..i grew up in melbourne Australia in the 80's listening to my older brothers music collection of stuff like nick cave , lydia lunch & lo fi stuff like K Z Williams .. my brother would buy cassettes off K Z at gigs or even on the street ... I only got to see him play twice myself though ..once with the bad seeds(nick cave) & once playing in st kilda on the street ..both performances etched in my brain as life changing experiences ..
K Z seemed to dissapear for along time & apparently was real messed up on drugs ..the world seemed to forget about him although i must say i'm kinda charmed by the rumour i heard about Nick Cave paying K Z's extensive & rather expensive rehab bills ... word is Nick has always been a huge fan of K'Z's hence the many gig's in the day where he played support for the bad seeds...
many people thought K Z went back to the states (he was born in New orleans ) to perform with his somewhat famous musical family but i think this is'nt true as i know K Z had some real serious problems with his father & my feeling is he just got sick of the game & took off for a while ..anyway I'm gonna try & get an interview with him & see what i can find out ..(stay tuned )
only recently he has re emerged with pretty much the same ole sound this time on some sort of religious lable or something (tripitaka productions) they hav'nt replied to my emails so i dont their deal yet but word is they a whole bunch more brand new K Z recordings .... I'll be trying to bring you all the new stuff plus digitalize some of the old super rare cassette stuff ... pretty excited !!! here goes .
