Lyrics Index - Freak Kitchen
While I was on tour in Johannesburg during 2007, Gary Van Zyl (bass player for Johnny Clegg, Clout, Circus and more...) introduced me to Mattias Eklundh and his unique guitar skills.
When I returned to Cape Town a few weeks later, I did some research and managed managed to listen to most of the Freak Kitchen albums, and watch a few AVI clips of Mattias Eklundh giving guitar workshops.
Well, I was sold... and this band became "my find" of 2007 - even though they have been around for more then 13 years! As they say, some things are worth waiting for.
What really struck me was here was a guitarist who leans on the heavy side of rock/metal, but has no fear to include complex timings and phrasings to his original music.
My twin boys (born in 2000) love the music and have picked up on the poly-rhythmic timings and grooves. There have been numerous times that I have been "whacked" on the head from behind with a drumstick by my boys sitting in the back seat of the car.
But that's OK, no pain no gain... at least they are not only listening to music that consists of straight 4/4,
with 3 chords and the truth.
In my opinion, the lyrics are interesting - maybe because Mattias is from Swedish decent and English was not his first language. The lyrics are refreshingly simple to understand (the diction is good), yet often contain serious social statements and commentary.
So, Freak Kitchen are:
Mattias "IA" Eklundh : Guitar & Vocals
Björn Fryklund : Drums
Christer Örtefors : Bass
Here are the links to a few "Freak Kitchen" lyrics. I have decided to leave out songs that might contain profanity that might offend some people. Enjoy....
