It was a really great show, and for anybody with a chance to see them in this current tour, I would totally recommend it.<\/p>\n<p>It was so much not the standard DJ set. It was, in fact, a book launch! :)<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<!--more check it out :)--><br \/>\n<\/center><br \/>\nAfter DJ Jester opened (he was mixing love songs&#8230; it was a cool set :), Koala came out and talked to us a bit. A very engaging speaker \/ storyteller, he is :) He brought along some old equip from his early days of scratching (circa 1988) and messed around with that a bit.<\/p>\n<p>He introduced p-love, from NYC, and then introduced his book, &#8220;Nufonia Must Fall&#8221;.<br \/>\n<center><\/p>\n<p><\/center><br \/>\nWe were shown several frames from the book via his 35mm projector, and he would provide snippets of the story&#8230; totally funny and interesting :) It struct me that this would make an excellent bed time story for a small child, and it would be fun to &#8216;read&#8217;  (there are no words, just illustrations).<\/p>\n<p>He occasionally broke out into more traditional DJ routines, aided by p-love&#8230; between the two of them, it was a pretty amazing showcase. There is also a CD sound track that comes with the book:<br \/>\n<center><\/p>\n<p><\/center><br \/>\nMost of the cuts are pretty short, and set what seems to be the perfect mood for the book.<\/p>\n<p>About half-way through, they passed out pencils and small square pieces of paper with stuff drawn on them. We then proceeded to play nufonia bingo :)<br \/>\n<center><\/p>\n<p><\/center><br \/>\nThe winner got a free copy. As it was, I was more than happy to give him $20 after paying $12 for almost three hours of excellent entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>He closed with the story of how he and p-love met in Montreal&#8230; I don&#8217;t wanna give anything away, but it was really funny and ended up in a battle routine between the two on a michael jackson ballad :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday night I went to see Kid Koala, p-love, and DJ Jester play at the re-opening of a place called Medicine Hat.
