Firefox AK
Live @ Dingwalls Camden, London, 02/20/07
The line outside snakes it's way around to Camden Lock where dealers serve up weed by day and by night the vinyl junkies adorn this patch waiting for the gig of the night in London: Junior Boys with Firefox AK. This is a sweet billing for Firefox AK witnessed by the day-glo, very nu-rave crowd. She opened with "What's that sound" – rapturous applause followed marking her acceptance into the gang. Dressed impeccably in a blue acetone coloured pinniffer made from the sort of material that bed sheets were made of, the sort which lit up the room with static electricity giving off a indoor wirework display - a bit like the rendition of "Love to run". Yes, what Andrea Kellerman does on stage is this: she is intense, seeks perfection, looks hell-bent on what she is doing, and then in one flash of her smile lifts that focus and atmosphere with the saccharine which is her voice.
The sound could have been better. It always could be – in every venue – yet with this and pounding basslines, sharp guitar effects and the sweetest of vox. "The draft" missed the duet dynamic of her 'old man Rasmus, yet "Madame! Madame!" set out the Kellerman stall just fine to finish a short set.
