Kaffe
Welcome to Kaffe!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The 10-piece Kaffe is a maelstrom of moods and melodies. We invert and twist conventions and perceptions into a mocha-like swirl. As Erik Satie has said, "Notez que je fais toute ma musique moi-même, tous les dièses, tous les bémols, etc."
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
If we get invited to play in Germany, we'll do a live show.
Your musical influences
Reg is into bop. For Art, it's the blues or nothing. Mary lives for the classics. Sue is into everything! Beddy-Jane has a fondness for Art Tatum. Dick and Frank are bangers, Larry is down with hip hop, Skunk has a thing for metal and Jeff is into neo-progressive lounge funk.
What equipment do you use?
We have loads of gear and moving it around is dashed hard work but we won't bore you with further details.
Anything else?
Up United!
