Kerry JK

Gender & genre fluid musician, misfit & educator. I also like pulp culture & pro wrestling.

Music videos of the dancing monkey, lyric and stockfest persuasion with a few live cam performances mixed in.
I'm currently in the process of adding subtitles to older videos that need them.

New EP out now on Bandcamp, coming everywhere else as and when.

Two new songs and two very old songs done in a new way. By which I mean electro-punk jazz, additional lyrics and utter disregard for the sanctity of beloved standards.

I was asked by @platinummind to write an article for @freshnet dealing with what reviewers & artists need to do to ensure not just we but anyone from the industry & media can find what's needed to provide support & opportunities to artists + a lot more!

@Todd_Spence The Star Child, the Demon, the Cat and the Plumber (on trout).

@Todd_Spence The combination of Ace's laugh and Gene's reaction, both building with each instance, is priceless.

@WoodMakk @MovingStones_4 @creasecreators @jimmyvan It's possible. A lot of superheavyweights came to the UK after their weight got too out of control for WWE, Yokozuna being the most notorious example. Fat wrestlers were associated with brit graps due to Daddy/Haystacks, PN News found a home here as the American Avalanche.

@Jeremy_Peeples @creasecreators @jimmyvan I think that was Drew McDonald, who played it ironically. He was a huge Scottish bruiser, but not ripped like a Chippendale dancer.

@RnRNationlive Piece Of Mind. Maiden arrives at their classic liineup as Nicko shows what a single bass pedal can do. Skip past Quest For Fire and this is close to perfection (they stuck the landing on the followup).

@themetalvoice Other great live albums:

Motorhead - No Sleep 'Till Hammersmith
W.A.S.P. - Live In The Raw
Johnny Cash At San Quentin
The Who Live At Leeds
Frank Zappa - Beat The Boots (included as a guilty pleasure - we owe many great moments in rock lore to bootleg recordings).

[Kerry JK @kerryjk]

@themetalvoice Hot take, but despite LAD's importance it's not my favourite Maiden live album, partly the rough edges & tiredness in some of the performances, maybe because I got it after Maiden England, having discovered the band at that time. Powerslave is still my favourite Maiden album.

[Kerry JK @kerryjk]

@VintageRockN_85 To qualify, I feel a great debut needs to: 1) land as if from space, changing the genre/medium in question, 2) lead on to as good or better work, unless the artist dies early (the Jeff Buckley exemption) 3) not age like milk.
I'll add:
Queen l
Are You Experienced
Suzanne Vega

[Kerry JK @kerryjk]

@CossetteHa35861 @VintageRockN_85 It had an effect on Terry Bozio, apparently.

Still not getting it. Is this meant to be about puns or something?

My new EP is out, my first new music in far too long, though I've been making, trashing and revising a lot in the meantime. Ballyhoodunnit, my fourth studio album as Kerry JK, will be out in 26. For now, check this out:

@Ginger_Tucci I don’t find this strange. Maybe it's to do with having a mongrel accent myself (born in Cumbria, adolescence on the Isle of Wight, early 20s touring) but I'm used to modifying my accent to match who I'm talking to, almost subconsciously. It's less about identity, more cadence.

[Kerry JK @kerryjk]

@PSYDOLL Next time. You made an impression last night in Northampton! :)
