likeKings are a relatively new four-piece band who have been gigging around Dublin since November 06. In the band's short life they have quickly picked up a strong following, released an EP and have charted with their debut single '4a.m.' recorded at Grouse Lodge. They have already played venues such as RadioCity, CrawDaddy, The Village and The Button Factory, and with their first EP just released, it seems like their mark being made on the Dublin music scene is only just beginning.

So here's the story:
likeKings will be taking a break from regular gigging this year as the drumman Conor has got the auld Leaving Cert to tackle, as well as 2 of the Brians dealing with their finals. This means that this gig may be our last of 2008, and we hope to have at least one next year before the summer as well (maybe our birthday slot in Dorans after Christmas).
So while gigging will be generally off the cards, that doesn't mean we're slacking off. We'll be spending most of our band time this year behind the scenes, writing a load of new material, with the intention of recording it in summer '09, then we'll be back with a bang in the autumn! That's our long term goal anyway.
So it'd be amazing to see all you lovely loyal fans at RadioCity on Thursday 9th October showing your support for us, we always appreciate it hugely! Also, this may be the last time we play all our old stuff together, so don't miss out.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Love,

Review of the Trinity Battle of the Bands Final From IrishUnsigned.com by Angela Macari-O'Looney 30/
I promised myself on seeing two members of 'Like Kings' perform a brilliant set at 'Crawdaddy' a few weeks ago, that I'd go and see them with the full compliment of their members a.s.a.p. With only two guitars for accompaniment they had impressed me with their sound. So on the invitation of bassist Brian Nolan, I found myself at my 2nd battle of the Bands competition at 'The Academy', this time the prize being a chance for the winner to play the 'The Trinity Ball', a prestigious and high profile event!....
.....LIKEKINGS It was a long way to come to finally get to hear this band the way they were meant to sound. And they were good!
The first song 'Nerve' had a dramatic intro and was packed with harmony which was just so catchy with a unique and special style. Each guy in this band is so talented and I know now, why something drew me to go and see them this night. They are definitely going to be big! The piano played by Brian Martin was magical and the chorus was so powerful with harmonies sung with such precision I felt a surge of emotion. Wow! Then you have this big crescendo of sound towards a big bashing finish.
'A song for Madness' was a ballad sung quite slowly and with such a gorgeous melody too. There's a big build up to a dramatic chorus then it slows down again towards the end.
I recognised the next song 'Permanent Scar' from the 'Like Kings' c.d. I'd obtained a copy from the lads when I'd met them previously. This number starts with a fast beat and lovely lead and the verse is cheeky followed by a chorus which is just so impressive and with a show stopping key change, it's addictive. It slows down with close sung harmony in the background, then there's a screaming lead guitar solo to bring you back to the chorus. Perfect!
'Wittenberg Stars' was fourth with a choppy riff to start off. Like this entire band's stuff it was refreshing and had wonderfully touching lyrics with lots of sweet changes throughout, the chorus being the main attraction. I feel so alive listening to these guys. They do this accapello bit, just before the middle eight. Then a tremendous guitar solo brought you back to the chorus which is well worded 'It doesn't get much better than this!'
This band finished with a song called '4a.m.'which had a very rock feel to it unlike any of their previous songs. It just showed how versatile they are and there were no holes barred as they ripped into bashing chords and sliding guitar solos. It slowed down to an unexpected softly sung finish. Brian Nolan thanked everyone and wished the audience a good night.
Before the judges took the podium to crown the winners of the Battle of the Bands for the trinity ball, 'The Coronas' performed a fabulous set. They were brilliant and the crowd were euphoric! They sang 'Sleep all day and drink all night' which was amazing and went on to play a rip roaring set that I wished could go on all night. The lead singer reminisced about how they won a Battle of the Bands competition four years ago in U.C.D.
Eventually when they finished, the M.C. came onstage to thank everyone for participating and the audience for coming. He introduced the judges and they in turn announced the winners, 'Killer Chloe'. The standard was so high that it would be impossible to pick a best from what I had seen. I was a little bit disappointed that 'Like Kings' didn't win since they were the reason for my being here. Mick Birmingham, the guy who organised this competition said as I was leaving, that all of the bands were brilliant but only one could win. Also that Brian and his troupe are well on their way to success anyway. I totally agree.

Team America
We're chasing across the US of A for the summer. A combination of two guitars, NYC cool, Mississippi blues, LA surf, and much whiskey in the back seat of our van will hopefully mean new tunes and musical whims for you all to hear when we get home and start gigging again in the autumn. Thanks a million to everyone who came along to gigs and bought our single over the past few months. We've enjoyed every second of it.
All the best,
