The Blues Room Presents ...
KNiKi and Mike Beale
Epsiode 291, 17 August 2011

“Singing songs about holding hands with a devil means you two will be going to hell!! And I’m not joking...its just disgusting … Hell !!” Reverend John Revelator

She is wicked, outrageous, alluring, with the voice of a bad tempered Angel.

He will engage you with his rock star demeanour, demanding your attention, singing like a demon, with a voice soaked in a barrel of whiskey.

KNiKi and Mike Beale deliver a powerful blues rock performance, often described as a combination of Janis Joplin and Eric Clapton, with music ranging from intimate acoustic moments to the full on energy of a 5 piece band.

KNiKi’s vocal chords are packed with rustic roar, angelic pitch, and immense diversity.

Infused with Mike Beale’s fluid yet dynamic guitar playing and a voice that’s delivered with explosive roars and intimate whispers.

Candy to your ears and bubbles in your mouth.

I missed interviewing Mike recently when he and Kniki were touring NZ. Maybe next time. Heres a few of their rockin blues for you to enjoy. More details about Mike and Kniki are found at http://www.knikiandmike.com/
