	Mek Obaam Who's the cat with the weird African name? Drummer for Barbara Morgenstern. Percussionist for The Schneider TM Experience. And now he's MEK OBAAM, a beer drinking, promiscuous, bald version of the Mozatollah himself, Stephen Patrick Morrissey. So soft was his voice that his bandmates used to call him their "little nightingale". But with each song he surprised them anew: boom chacka boom guitars with accordion drones; King Tubby reverb explosions on plodding, strung out country tunes; click house; rock-a-billy goes early Who… and none of it flashy shit with the purpose of disguising shitty songs, because the songs are superb. The stuff MEK sings about might normally make you cringe, but he pulls it off with verve. Often he's the observer of inter human fuck-ups of all dimensions. Sometimes he takes on roles, as in Song For Mothers, where he's a six year old kid who's pissed off at his mother. Other times he's the protagonist, flipping the bird to just about everyone else. And when he plays live with his amazing backing band AWESOME you'll find him centre stage, playing drums and singing. More info (external link)
