Kimi Recor on Secret and the Noise, Lilofee, and Life

kimi

A few years back I met Kimi Recor while living in San Francisco. My favorite memory of Kimi Recor followed one of Gemini Disco’s biggest parties at The Mezzanine in San Francisco. I helped Chris (a founder of Gemini Disco and her co conspirator) with the decorations. Together we created an elaborate Reindeer S/M scene equipped with balloon didlo’s (like the animal balloons you enjoyed as a child) and neon lights, plus a huge balloon drop and balloon people fucking all over the Mezz… TRULY MAGICKAL.. Anyway, skip ahead to the end of the night and I’m in full drag looking for a cab on San Francisco’s infamous 6th Street in SOMA puffing a cigarette, getting hollered at by homeless men that wanted to bone my “vagina” when all of a sudden angel Kimi pulled up and asked me where I was trying to get to… “ummmm I’m supposed to be meeting a dude in the Mission,” I responded. She took my ass there and I had a fabulous night with him. Forever and ever I’ll love Kimi for that. And on top of all that she makes amazing music. She has a band called Lilofee that is rocking clubs all over the place and she is working on a side project with Chris entitled Secret and the Noise that is equally grand with the possibility of exceeding anything we’ve witnessed before. Thank the heavens!! Keep reading for an interview, MP3 and mind exploding chat about the world…

NEW ALBUM OUT: M. LAMAR “THE BLACK DEATH”

Fans of Diamanda Galas, Nina Simone, Antony and the Johnsons need to make sure they’re aware of M. Lamar. I’ve been a fan of M. Lamar for a few years now and have watched Lamar evolve from a sex symbol to a deeply provocative singer songwriter. A few months ago he played a show at my old place in Oakland; Ariel Goldberg and Debutante shared the bill. His intricate grotesque lyrics and his Klaus Nomi esq delivery demands your time. His new album “The Black Death” has just been recorded; he has been kind enough to give us an interview and a few MP3′s to check out. Watch his website for future updates. Continue reading
