simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact.

Kid Creole - Going Places

You are here: I Like Music > urban > Kid Creole - Going Places

During the 80s, Kid Creole was the zoot-suited 'Tropical Gangster', a Latino Cab Calloway mixing pop, p-funk, big band swing and Latin rhythms for a series of global chart smashes, from 'Stool Pidgeon' and 'Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy' to 'Endicott'.

Under his real name, August Darnell, Kid Creole had developed his feel for unusual music fusions and intelligent, acerbic life stories since 1974 through a series of projects as a prolific writer, musician and producer.

Starting as a key member of Dr. Buzzard's Savannah Band alongside his brother, Stony Browder Jr. in 1974, Darnell then masterminded Machine's disco anthem 'There But For The Grace Of God' before becoming the in-house producer for Ze Records in New York. There, he helped fashion the grungy Ze sound through Cristina's trash disco debut album and groundbreaking genre-bending work for Aural Exciters, James Chance and more.

Taking the name from the Elvis Presley film, Darnell created Kid Creole in 1980 and alongside his three female singers, The Coconuts, led by his Wife Addy, and a band including Dr. Buzzard's Coati Mundi, he began honing his alter ego.
