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'

Turn the sound up on 'Full Screen' and hear another wild trombone at 7min30sec mark.

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 :-)
All of the early records (Fresh Fruit, Tropical Gangsters, Doppelganger) were IMHO great records. Then there were a few spotty releases followed by Kiss Me, To Travel Sideways, and Too Cool to Conga all of which I like a lot (tho they all took some time to register). As noted above, I really like the new one.

There are a bunch of really good hits CDs and the latest live CD (don't know the title, but, for ID purposes, the first track is a cover of "Oh! What a Night" and the last track is "It's Automatic") is IMO great!
