There's a new King in town. The young
Vienna duo KOENIGLEOPOLD, consisting of
Lukas K÷nig and Leo Riegler, is the
inventor and sole proprietor of a highly
original musicaltheatrical style, a show
that veers from virtuosic exultation to
comedy to embarrassment, often in the
course of a single piece. They've also
got a hell of a wardrobe. Lukas K÷nig's
drum and synth work is built on the best
beats of the last fifty years -
dismantled, reassembled and played at
full volume on an ancient turntable
sitting in a junkyard on the slope of an
active volcano. We now pause for a
natural disaster. Leo Riegler is by
turns a pimp, a dada MC, a gifted
turntablist, a hopeless but convincing
opera singer and a back-alley
clarinetist ... and a consummate showman
throughout.
The music is a rollercoaster mixture of
dirty hip-hop, rock and roll and weird
takes on bubblegum pop punctuated by
pure noise improvisations, played with
high precision and a strange, fierce
intensity that becomes positively
unsettling when coupled with, say, the
sounds of Darth Vader enjoying a nice
steak (which can happen). It's almost
like they're hearing voices onstage -
but whether it's the ghosts of Zappa and
Biggie Smalls they're channeling, the
complete works of Monty Python in
Cantonese or a doll that just says
"Mama!" over and over again - the
results are dangerously grooving and
completely unique. When KOENIGLEOPOLD is
holding court it's best to pay
attention.
