| Press release 'Lo Fi' (esc.rec.16), Toxic Chicken's debut on esc.rec. is still 'kakelvers' (as we say in the Netherlands), only to be followed swiftly by 'Make My Day', a free mp3 release! 'Make My Day' sounds somewhat more subtle than 'Lo Fi'. But most of all it sounds still unmistakably Toxic Chicken-ish all over again. Because you're probably downloading or listening to this (high quality!) free mp3 release right now, making up your own mind is faster, easier and more reliable than reading this press release, so I'll leave it at this. Trivial Pursuit: Some of the sounds on 'Make My Day' originate from the knitting needles of Grannittin, on which Toxic Chicken also contributed two tracks. |

| Reviews Perspectstasy (perspectstasy.blogspot.com): Kai is a Dutch boy living in London for the past year or so. He makes music with his computer, but it's his spastic performance style that makes him one of the greatest talents you've never heard of. We first met in Summer 2003 when Toxic Chicken was the opening act for a show I did in Haarlem (Netherlands) with Comtron. I took notice of him early in the load-in for the obvious reasons (cute, skinny, Dutch), but when I saw what his show consisted of: various foods, a selection of rubber chickens, some tacky living room furniture, and an assortment of novelty items and toys – well, I was intrigued to say the least. The show was very chaotic so I can't recall much, but it was him and two somewhat forgettable girls – one who sang soft vocals that got obliterated by the music (I think she crawled under the table at one point), and one whose role was to sit in a chair next to a lamp and read a book in sunglasses for the entire performance. Kai's dancing eclipsed everything else, he danced like a hyperactive child who just finished off an entire bag of sugar. I can't really describe it other than “like a hyperactive child”, sort of like a barely containable amount of energy that would come out in short, quick bursts with pauses. Anyway, at one point during a particularly intense crescendo he began beating himself in the head with a baguette he'd been munching on for most of the show, then throwing the broken pieces of bread at the audience. I got nicked in the ear by a piece of flying crust, it hurt a little bit but I didn't care at that point. It was the combination of this childlike behavior and the use of foods that really stuck with me. GoMagazine (www.gomagazine.nl): Maar wat doet die rare rubberen kip daar op die microfoon? Het antwoord werd snel beantwoord… Toxic Chicken kwam live optreden: een jongen gewapend met een laptop vol foutheid en een meisje met een vrouwenmasker. Het begon al goed, een kreunende kerel en een vrouw die wulpse bewegingen maakt, wat moet je hier nu van denken? Het werd steeds gekker en gekker. Iemand uit het publiek werd eventjes fijn geblinddoekt en geducktaped aan een stoel en mocht de rest van de avond ‘toezien' vanaf het podium. De broek van het meisje ging uit (???) en in haar onderbroekie ging ze fijn op een taart zitten en wat deed die jongen achter zijn laptop? Die ging nog eventjes fijn in een tweede taart zijn hoofdafdruk maken. Maar de muziek… die was tof, tikkeltje vaag en superdansbaar. De betekenis van dit alles hebben we niet kunnen achterhalen, maar fijn gedanst hebben we zeker. |
