Who are the extra musicians who have toured with the Dummies?
There have been several musicians who joined Crash Test Dummies on tour to help “fill-out the sound” and recreate the songs. On the God Shuffled His Feet Tour, the Dummies were joined by Kiva, though at the time she was calling herself Kathy Brown. She was a friend from Winnipeg who accompanied the band on tour to provide additional keyboards and back-up vocals. According to Brad, Kiva’s contribution was necessary to recreate the sound of the studio recordings of GSHF, many of which were produced with multiple tracks. In addition, she possesses the rather unusual ability of “Mongolian overtoning,” in which she manipulates her voice such that she can sing two distinct notes simultaneously. Kiva had been known to demonstrate this talent during CTD concerts, and it can also be found on Symptomology (during Mitch’s section). It is unknown whether she will rejoin the band for any future tours, though it would seem unlikely. You can visit her website at kivaweb.com. Mr. Murray Pulver – often
