   About Lez Karski
Leszek (Lez) Karski

Born 1950 in Worcester U.K. of Polish parents. Attended U.S. army high school in Munich, Germany where Lez first heard and started to play, rhythm & blues music.

Returning to ‘swinging’ London in the mid 60’s, he continued a mixture of music & art, watching Peter Greenand Clapton, studying at Ealing Art College and playing the blues at night.

Music eventually dominated, and he found himself touring Europe with a Liverpool funk outfit 'Supercharge' bringing him to Australia in the late 70’s with a 1 hit record ‘Get Up & Dance’.

Sydney in the 80’s found Lez as a singer/guitarist and songwriter/record producer, working with Flash & The Pan, Midnight Oil, Spy v Spy, The Triffids, Yothu Yindi, Jeff Lang and many others, whilst playing the blues with The Hippos, Bondi Cigars, and The Foreday Riders.

Lez's unique guitar and vocal delivery is highly respected across the board, and his current band The Nervous Investors are a regular feature of the Australian Blues scene.

They've performed nationally as the late greatJohnny Johnson's band, playing the Narooma and East Coast Blues festivals and appeared on the ‘Live at the Basement’ TV special. They were Chris Cain's band at the Narooma festival two years running, and Kenny 'Blues Boss' Wayne's backing band.

In 2007 'The Nervous Investors' toured through Germany, Holland & Poland, where Lez represented Australia at the Wroclaw ‘Thanks Jimi’ 1st of May guitar festival, helping to establish a new Guinness record for the number of guitarists (1881) playing a Hendrix classic.

Now based in Albany, Lez's other projects include duos & trios with local and interstate musicians (including one with daughter Kasia), as well as solo acoustic performances.

He’s helped to establish the Albany Blues Club as a committee member and is part of their house band, 'MooseKnuckle'.

He’s also a facilitator at the annual ‘Recipe For Jam’ music workshops at the Vancouver Arts centre in Albany, and a casual music lecturer at the Denmark TAFE.

Hey Lez.

How goes it ?

Good I'm guessing.

I was wondering the other day who it was that had a hand in "Moose Knuckle" (pardon the pun).

My occasional gig text the other week confirmed my suspicions.

Good luck with the "Knuck" !!

Cheers.

You're so right ... and he's responsible for the state I'm in !
As I seem to have some trouble with the local multinational drug corporation ...

I'll start drinking the whole bottle of eucalyptus washing up liquid to enrich Unilever this time ...

and will use the pneumonia-generating tablets and sedatives left to dissolve into the washing machine ... might be good against chalk ...

... And in case of subsequent mental disorder, I'll consult a psychopath straight away ... should be safere than a registered psychiater.

Hope to comply with your concept of nuclear medicine …

meanwhile, I wish you a nice cup of local camomila.
