I hadn't heard of Kettle Yard -- I'll check it out -- but you're right about Dave King, and that holds true for every band he plays in. I profiled him several years ago when I was on staff at the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Work by artists such as Barbara Hepworth, Gaudier-Brzeska, Eric Gill, L S Lowry and Joan Miro are displayed together with natural/kinetic sculptures, musical instruments, miscellanea and so-called 'outsider art'. I had always heard the piano at the middle of their music, but after seeing Dave King in action, I changed my mind! The man manipulates all manner of toys, rattles and thingymijigs, and was by far and away the most charismatic percussionist i'd seen in a while. The band's shock at having been booked to play at the Yard (i think they'd expected it to be a club or something!) subsisded - i'll remember it for ages as they were fantastic! http://www.kettlesyard.co.uk/ *i also worked at the house as a cleaner once. very easy work - you were never allowed to touch any of the objects in there! i saw the bad plus play in kettle’s yard gallery*, cambridge, uk, a few years ago. it’s an intriguing house museum full of objects collected by and belonging to Jim Ede.

They're playing tomorrow night at the Cedar, http://www.thecedar.org/? Have you ever seen them play there? I highly suggest it. They act and feel as if they're playing in their own living room there. Happy Apple on a cold winter night is the best thing we have to look forward to in Minnesota winters! Did you know…
