About Me

Check my new website! www.kristofskikabuki.com Things that have been said about Kristofski Kabuki:"When I see you play it feels like I’m coming up on extacy" - Simon, Little Paper Squares"You should present gay children’s TV" - Some random girl at the Old Blue Last"...sounds like the bi-product of the Pet shop boys, Marc Almond and Erasure having a heavy session of super mario kart" - Kyphos"Catchier than the clap" - Little Rock Radio"It’s better than I expected" - Lisa, art teacherSincerecore, 8-bit happy hardcore, super mario on MDMA. Sometimes drunk, often wrong, always fun. I play music for DANCING. I make the backing myself on my computer using Reason (the programme, not the concept). The songs on here were recorded by Mike at Grassroots youth centre in Cardiff.I make music as an excuse to dress up. The word Kabuki came from the verb kabuku, which literally meant to incline in a certain direction. It also metaphorically meant to be, either in behavior or custom, different from the norm, to be likely to draw attention. (taken from www.kabuki21.com)

I had a dream last night...
