Dr. Octagon Books Melbourne Appointment

Okay, so the alias of Kool Keith might not have an M.D., or any clue about medical practise, and look, maybe heaps of his patients die during rounds, but he’s got skills nonetheless – able to treat chimpanzee acne and moosebumps, and relocate saliva glands. That’s useful. He’s also rather well-renowned for pushing boundaries in the world of underground hip-hop – his ’96 debut album the result of a visionary collaboration with the Jimi Hendrix of turntables, DJ QBert, and the hitherto-unknown producer by the name of Dan the Automator. Blunted has spent considerable time persuading Kool Keith to bring undoubtably the strangest persona in hip hop history back to life – and the results are a series of world-exclusive shows, with Dr. Octagonecologyst being performed in full as a live production only Kool Keith could envision.
