The King Blues <TheKingBlues>
"Save The World, Get The Girl out now"

official band profile

“This is rough, radical music that should unsettle the rulers of this country. A new generation of musicians are challenging war- monger politicians and their courtiers (Bono, Geldof etc). I hope these songs prosper.” Tariq Ali

Jonny ‘Itch’ Fox - vocals and ukulele
Jamie Jazz - vocals and guitar
Fruitbag - vocals and guitar

The King Blues are one of the UK punk underground’s best loved bands, and they’re now primed for an assault on the wider world having signed to new label Field Recordings.

The band have a commitment to politics and resistance culture, and are vocal supporters of anti-racism and anti-capitalism. Though they have played most of the UK’s major rock festivals they are just likely to be seen playing Zapatista benefit gigs, squat shows and Love Music Hate Racism festivals as they are the more traditional touring circuit. They do however refuse to rigidly define their politics, instead pooling individual beliefs for a wider common goal.

The King Blues says:

    And The Gods Shall Tremble
    Now i think most of u have seen the coverage of the Irainian election and how it was totally fucking fixed and the fact that they took to streets and fucking fought for it and now i think we should fucking riot but this time its not a case of rioting over a fixed election its rioting about getting a fucking election because i mean come on browns cabinate is in fallout all the major ministers have left (except darling but hes a cunt any way so he dosent really count) and so browns government have little or no power or credibilty left and the cunt still wont relingquish power so take it to the streets and send him a message that will show him and the world the british people arent the blind submissive slaves they think we are and so in the words of the clash "White riot I wanna riot white riot a riot of my own" Vive La Revolution VIve La Anarchy !!
