A popular misconception is that this is the name of the band featuring him and not just his stage name. However, at live shows, he will usually introduce his band members by their similar pseudonyms - some fellow Fence Collective artistes such as "The Pictish Trail" (aka Johnny Lynch), On The Fly and Uncle Beesly, to name but the usual line-up.
Albums include: Kenny and Beth's Musakal Boat Rides (2003); Rocket D.I.Y. (2005); KC Rules OK (2005); Bombshell (2007) and Flick The V's (2009).

You Are Could I?
King Creosote Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could be long, I could be submissive
I could be wrong
I could be foul, I could be loud
I could be proud, I could be insistant
I could become
Are you fair, are you bare
Do you snore, do you bore
Do your chores, do you court
Are you free, are you mean
Are you grease, are your knees
Do you bleed, do you need
Do you speak, do you shriek
Are you there, are you square
Are you fair, are you bare
Do you snore, do you bore
Do your chores, do you court
Are you free, are you mean
Are you grease, are your knees
Do you bleed, do you need
Do you speak, do you shriek
I could be tall, I could be small
I could be high, I could be delighted
I could be wrong
I could be clean, I could be mean
I could be seen, I could be delinquent
I could become
Are you there, are you square
Are you fair, are you bare
Do you snore, do you bore
Do your chores, do you court
Are you free, are you mean
Are you grease, are your knees
Do you bleed, do you need
Do you speak, do you shriek
Are you there, are you square
Are you fair, are you bare
Do you snore, do you bore
Do your chores, do you court
Are you free, are you mean
Are you grease, are your knees
Do you bleed, do you need
Do you speak, do you shriek
Are you there, are you square
Are you fair, are you bare
Do you snore, do you bore
Do your chores, do you court
Are you free, are you mean
Are you grease, are your knees
Do you bleed, do you need
Do you speak, do you shriek
Are you there, are you square
Are you fair, are you bare
Do you snore, do you bore
Do your chores, do you court
Are you free, are you mean
Are you grease, are your knees
Do you bleed, do you need
Do you speak, do you shriek
Are you there, are you square
Are you fair, are you bare
Do you snore, do you bore
Do your chores, do you court
Are you free, are you mean
Are you grease, are your knees
Do you bleed, do you need

The questions cover a wide range of topics, from personality traits to physical attributes, and suggest that the singer is searching for someone to connect with on a deeper level. The repeated phrase "Are you there, are you square, are you fair, are you bare" seems to highlight the importance of honesty and openness in a relationship.
The first stanza presents a series of contradictions that the singer could be, which may indicate that they are unsure of themselves and their identity. The second stanza again presents a series of questions, but this time they are more specific and personal. The repeated chorus emphasizes the importance of the listener being present and real, rather than pretending or hiding themselves. The final stanza again presents contradictory options, showing that the singer is willing to change for the right person.
