Check out this article on BBook.com: http://www.blackbookmag.com/article/kaki-is-king-or-queen-rather Kaki is King! (Or Queen, Rather) Kaki King’s “secret” show at the Living Room last weekend wasn’t. Nor was it really a show. “It was so our sound guy could mix us,” explains King. “The whole point was to get the sound right and hear ourselves in a room, because we’d been in a rehearsal for so long.” So it was more of a “secret rehearsal” for close family and friends to prepare for King’s tour, which kicks off this week. And, apparently, the press wasn’t supposed to know. Oops. Nevertheless, after strumming a set of ethereal songs from her new album, Dreaming of Revenge, and screaming a cover of “Fashion Tattoo” by German noise band Bubonix, the 28-year-old guitar virtuoso and former subway busker sat down for a chat. After the jump, she talks about the album, unrequited love, and Sean Penn’s Into the Wild, all the while navigating lower Manhattan in a rental car with passengers Maria Porcaro (the best friend), Sara De Castro (of the aforementioned Bubonix), and, um, the press.  www.bbook.com
