The Voluptuous Horror Of Karen Black is the brainchild of
artist and performer Kembra Pfahler, whose do-it-yourself
ideals have shaped both the band's sound and their
iconic visual style, and from whose solo performance
work and 'Super 8' films the group organically formed.
The band originally was in fact initially conceived in an
effort to soundtrack these early performances in a
manner befitting their highly theatric nature.
One part high fashion glamour, one part cult horror film
archetypes, this group has etched itself deeply into the
New York underground, all the while continuing to follow
Kembras rules of anti-naturalism and availablism to
push them forward. Using only what is on hand, the
group is able to create complex and compelling
performances filled with low-tech props and minimalist
costumes. The brightly painted girls of 'Karen Black'
complete the equation, walking into the performance with
confidence in their stiletto boots, high contrast black and
white costumes, blackened teeth, and two foot tall fright
wigs; aware that they are the most visually stunning and
alarming creatures present.
