‘The Boy Who Kicked Pigs’ is solo singer songwriter Karl Bray, who spent years playing with Brighton based electro pop outfit Kovak, the first unsigned band to be play-listed on BBC Radio 2, alongside LA’s KROQ. The band also have various tracks featured in British and Hollywood films.
Karl, a serious record collector has a limited edition of 45 only, one sided 7” vinyl records lathe cut along with a digital download of the single which has handmade artwork by artist girlfriend EJ Sparkles. Each copy includes an individual coloured feather from the video.
Karl has previously worked with leading producers such as Andy Gray (Hard Fi / Big Brother Theme) Andy Hughes (The Orb) spending much time crafting the perfect pop record with Kovak.
’A Little Respect’ is the polar opposite, a home grown affair recorded live in a true lo-fi style…in his front room on one microphone – and in Mono!
Karl says of the recording “I tried to re-record this song many times over the years but ended up using the original demo as it just had that vibe you strive years to obtain”.
‘The Boy Who Kicked Pigs’ is now performing solo shows, sometimes with a full band and has already supported The Levellers, Finley Quaye and Karl Blau.
‘The Boy Who Kicked Pigs’ name comes from a book written by actor Tom Baker who once flung Karl a 50 pence piece whist busking in their home town of Kent.
