Joseph Keckler reckons "I want to deliver an emotional experience, that can also be an amusing, surprising experience". And he certainly does. Dipping into opera, spoken word, theatre, pop music, even visual arts, Keckler sees the humour but also the seriousness in what he does.

Joseph is back in Australia (after touring with Lydia Lunch last year), playing Wollongong at the Music Lounge on Saturday, and joined Lindsay McDougall to talk about connecting that amusing/emotional divide, booking gigs as a way of forcing creativity, and his German opera about having a romantic encounter with a ghost.

Serious surprise with Joseph Keckler

I play in that Frenzal Rhomb band your Dad used to hate. I used to be that guy on triple j. And now I get to ask awkward and awesome questions to people and put the results up here!
