Welcome to episode 159 with Kunt, who is a sometime comedy songwriter turned major irritant who records and performs as Kunt & The Gang!
At Christmas 2020, his other band The K*nts, had an unexpected top 5 hit single with their protest song Boris Johnson is a F**king C**t. Since then, they have had top 20 hits with Boris Johnson is STILL a F**king C**t, F** The Tories and Scrap The Monarchy despite having no record company, no management, no PR company and no financial backing.
In this episode I chat to Mr K about his about his extensive career on the cold, outer fringes of show business and the mental impact of trying to live a creative lifestyle and go against the grain.
We chat about being skint, the state of the nation and the importance of community and protest.
We also chat about why he's not doing a Xmas single this year and has chosen to support a mystery, Bansky style musical outfit called The Krackpots who are releasing 'Proper Christmas' under very mysterious circumstances on 8th of December.
This is a much lovelier and profound chat than you’ll be expecting and I really enjoyed being part of it! I’ve loved what Mr K has done to the Christmas charts over the last few years and I will always cheer for the independent artists and the underdogs who are trying to do something different.
