| Since forming in 2004 the KarismaKatz have established themselves as a versatile group with the emphasis on passionate performances. On some occasions they perform as a 4-5 piece band however it is the collaboration between DJ and Christo which has resulted in accolades for the duo's superb synchronicity and crowd-pleasing commitment to their songs. DJ is a true contralto vocalist with great expression, and is developing a reputation as Australia's tastiest blues-harp player. Christo Carlsen provides telepathic acoustic guitar accompaniment with his percussive moves and left-field licks. Together they are an original acoustic anomaly, equal parts blues, jazz and roots, with a splash of music hall, a dash of audacity and an air of cool they have an irresistible art-house appeal. Add to this DJ's engaging persona and the duo's unpretentious audience rapport, and you see it is no wonder they have been described as “refreshingly original”, “spellbinding” and “world class”. |
