Kaki King ***Paste/Stereogum ***Volume Nightclub ***03.14.08 *** Kaki King played to a musty and humid crowd at Volume. The performance was a little lackluster considering what I was expecting, although the crowd was definitely into the performance.Kaki King- 2 O’Clock[mp3]

The capacity crowd could have been, or maybe were on copious amounts of booze and/or drugs and their effects would not have been felt due to how loud (it was a good one)…
