Hold onto your hat and get readyfor one of the most over-the-top rock n' roll bands of all time, hailing fromNishinomiya, Japan and weighing in at a combined weight of nearly 300 lbs. -the KING BROTHERS!
The KING BROTHERS are:
Keizo Matsuo: guitar, vox
Zony: drums
Masafumi "Maya" Koyama: guitar, screams
Combining the elements of every vital era of rock n' roll music and thenexploding it, the KING BROTHERS approximate the sound of the Germs backingHowlin' Wolf with his hand caught in a garbage disposal. This is very wildmusic and they take it very seriously. The KING BROTHERS toured the US in 1999and 2001 and left a trail of blind worshippers in their wake. Their self-titleddebut album on Bulb Records is an exercise in lo-fi dementia - it makes GuitarWolf sound like Belle and Sebastian.
The KING BROTHERS have made sucha reputation for themselves in their home country as an incredible live actthat they earned themselves a recording contract with Toshiba/EMI. Their newalbum, "In The Red", takes their already insane sound into more denseand twisted territory. The KING BROTHERS are the new face of rock n' roll music.
"The King Brothers are the best rock n' roll band in the world"…
–Eric Oblivian (The Oblivians)
"See them before they all die of heart attacks"…

"There's no way a band could play like that every night withoutdying"…
–Jay Reatard
