Kid Creole & Coconuts


If you love August Darnell and his music.....and you want to hear some of the grooviest trombone playing.....here is their best performance of 'Don't take my Coconuts'
HERE
Turn the sound up on 'Full Screen' and hear another wild trombone at 7min30sec mark.

Very good performance, thanks!!!! KC always puts a smile on my face and movement in my body !!!! I have some King Creole vinyl that I enjoy when in the mood, just plane old fun !!!!!!!!
Thanks for the link. I agree - best version I've ever seen (and I've seen A LOT). I will always believe that KC & his Coconuts were, at their peak, the best live band of our time.

BTW, his newest release "I Wake Up Screaming" is actually very, very good. He did a good job of incorporating contemporary dance music elements into his own ouvre, so it's a little different, but still recognizably the work of the master. If you like the Kid, it's definitely worth checking out.
I agree Marty that one had to see them 'live' to really appreciate them?
In fact the 4 albums I have of them are sightly disappointing in 'sound' and atmasphere. Here is another clip from that same tour in 1982
Looove those sexy Coconuts :-)
