KENNE HIGHLAND with THE AFRIKA KORPS

Filmed on Friday July 16, 2004 - The AFRIKA KORPS reunite at the Midway Cafe in Jamaica Plain MA before an SRO crowd. "This merger of The Slickee Boys, The Gizmos, The Look, The Teenage Boys, O. Rex and Kaiser's Kittens has thrown up (how punky) the best album of the year. - Julie Burchill, New Musical Express, 3 December 1977." Boston rock lowbrow legend Kenne Highland was to later lead Underground Garage dancerock faves the Vatican Sex Kittens along with bassman Carl Biancucci (filling in here for the late Jay Gruberger). Original Korps members Sol Spector (Jay's big brother and Korps co-founder) sports a lefty guitar and humble Ken Kaiser pounds the Ludwigs at this one time only reunion show. Jailbait Janet can be found on the Korps acclaimed 1977 debut release "Music To Kill By" on Gulcher Records.

Kenne lives the workaday life in Quincy, MA nowadays but still gigs out at the Granite Rail and other local venues with his gurlfren Kristeena. If you see "Happy Place" on a bill, that's them.

Hey, me too - I also used to date him! Small world!

Memory lane....

I use to hang with Kenne and Miss Lyn back in the 80's. I dated him for a while too.

I remember the Hopelessly Obscure too. I think I have an album of theirs. I have a bunch of Kenne's albums come to think of it.

Memory lane....

I was around in the 80's. It was me, Kenne and Miss Lyn. I dated Kenne for a while too. I remember the Hopelessly Obscure. Haven't seen Kenne in over 20 years?

Memory lane....I remember Kenne from the 80's. I use to date him and then I became best friends with Miss Lyn. Haven't seen either one in years.

Knowing that Kenne Highland is alive and still playing makes life a lot better. If Ted ever steps away from his doctor gig and jams with you I'd just pass out :-)
