    Success2

    The first fruits of our long awaited "Hey, y'know what would be cool? If we covered all of Lust For Life in one go!" project, here's the Iggy/Bowie call and response classic Success. We've kinda gone mad and even-further-upped it's Hansa Tonstudio-ness at the end. Frippertronic!

    What do you do when one of your oldest friends turns forty? Well, if you are The Klams, you rewrite one of his favourite songs to gently take the mickey out of the guy, then show up and play it at his surprise birthday party.

    Uncle Bob Fripp would probably approve of our studious (others might say lethargic) performance in this clip. Whoever said you have to stand up to rock out, anyway?
