Opposites Attract

Karmadoza Karmadoza
Genre: Rock / Metal
From: Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Some ideas are so brilliant you wonder why no-one had ever thought of it before and some ideas are just so mad that you wonder why anyone ever thought of them in the first place. Montreal's Kardamoza's idea to record a heavy rock tribute to the B52's falls into the latter. That must have been a particularly heavy drinking session guys. But, perversely, and against my better judgement, it somehow works, just. Yes Karmadoza somehow pull it off, studiously avoiding the obvious and familiar, there's no 'Rock Lobster', 'Love Shack','Planet Claire', they breath new life into the B52's back catalogue.

Now if we can only get the B52s to record an album of Black Sabbath covers...

Just thought of the 52 girls by hearing DJ Shadows 6 Days in the Soulwax RMX! Great version, the Karmadoza version!

Best wishes from Germany,
