I'm not surprised the band's described as being KC-like, as I believe it
features not only Fripp, but also Trey Gunn on Chapman Stick, who also
plays in the latest incarnation of KC.

Toyah's done A LOT! From punky/poppy stuff in the '80s onwards...

People might also want to check out Toni Childs' most recent album, THE
WOMAN'S BOAT. It's a bit OTT with the earth mother/to be a woman thing (I'm
not inviting flames, it's just clumsily handled as a theme on the album),
but nevertheless a fine album. It features all kinds of artists including
Peter Gabriel and Trey Gunn.

The Chapman Stick has a lovely and unique sound, and can have a gorgeous
bass tone. Given Kate's pleasure in the unusual, and her love of bassy
stuff, I would be intrigued to hear this instrument used in some of her
future material.

TTFN
