This is a first for us, possibly because it’s not usually so fun to sum up a guy in five different songs but here we go. There’s the first one up there, the brilliant James Blake singing Feist’s ‘Limit To Your Love’, which was of course penned by Chilly – and possibly on piano first. Full circle.
Chilly also helped out Jamie Lidell on his breakthrough record ‘Multiply’. Take a listen to the two of them play the title track from that album above.
It wouldn’t be a proper guide to Chilly without some of his utterly transcendant piano music under the guide ‘Solo Piano’. Listen to a clip above.
A bit of a left-turn now. Gonzales is also a member of a a Berlin-based hip-hop group called Puppetmastaz. For a little taste, watch the quite incredible video above.
And finally we have to mention that Gonzales is in the Guinness Book of Records, holding the World Record for longest performance, clocking in an impressive 27 hours. Watch the highlights above. In just over 27 hours Chilly plays for us in London’s KOKO with Jarvis Cocker and Cocknbullkid as special guests. Don’t miss it!
Take a look as Chilly takes on Rebecca Black, Drake and Chris Brown! Funny stuff.
Chilly Gonzales is taking over the hallowed hall of Camden’s KOKO on Thursday and he has a couple of friends there too – namely Mr. Jarvis Cocker. As attendees of Gonzale’s last show for us will know, anything can and probably will happen and we can’t wait.
To give you a chance to join in the fun we’re running a competition on our facebook page. We want you to post your favourite piano related video from Bach to Keyboard Cat on our facebook wall, we’ll be picking our favourite on Thursday morning!
