July 20, 2009Kepi “Yes Depression”
July 19, 2009It’s an EP. It’s Kepi from the Groovie Ghoulies. He plays live still as Kepi Ghoulie. But he still does the pop punk we all love when he does. But he doesn’t here.
These songs are depressing. I guess that’s the point. With song titles like “When I’m Gone,” “Hurt & Alone” and “The King of Nothing,” it gives one pause. Is he being serious with these tracks? I think not, although if you knew nothing of him, you’d think everything was just dandy. Perhaps Kepi just wants us to realize how diversely talented he is. We already knew that, dude!
“The Highwayman” stands out, although the tracks do all support a common point: Kepi can put a harmonica around his neck and play at the Club Cal-Neva in Reno, Nevada, anytime he wants.
“Hair of Gold (and Skin of Blue)” reminds me of a sequel to the classic “Graveyard Girlfriend.” It’s a lot of fun! If you want Kepi Unplugged, you’ve found it. Don’t expect it to be wild. It’s like listening to Chris Murray when you want to hear ska.
