"The point is that none of them would fit in a beige hotel room... Kevin Parissien radiates so much stealthy cool that no mother would let her offspring date him. She'd do it herself."
"Their music veers wildly in style from goodtime rock to lounge-lizard schmaltz. It is so self-confident and sure of getting laid that it barely tries to make an impression."
"After one of our gigs in Oudtshoorn this woman of about 35 came up to me and asked if she could stick her tongue in my mouth... She sang me this song about a fallen woman that was her own composition."
- Kevin's memorable fan encounter"We prefer fans who want to collaborate in our Performance... No inhibitions."
