Adelaide’s sinfully lusty, primo rock‘n’roll act King Daddy is back in action and brandishing its debut album Evil Love, out now through Melbourne’s first house of dark rock Spooky Records. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The music is primal, pelvic and instinctively guttural chaos, sucking the marrow from all areas of rock’s roots and spitting them back out with psychotic glee and the occasional spasm of sensual tenderness. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This insidiously groovy, blood spattered platter features 14 prime cuts which run the gamut from garage freakbeat to mutant swamp blues and even a twang country death.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Admittedly they didn’t do the whole thing single-handedly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A fistful of extra special guests were invited to lend their special talents; namely: Baseball and Love Of Diagrams’ Monika Fikerlova plays accordion on the broody centrepiece Put Out Yr Eyes; Digger & The Pussycats and Kamikaze Trio’s Sam Agostino played tremulous Theremin on opener Spontaneous Combustion; ex-Broken Arrows drummer Craig Williamson shook the shakers on Girl On A Limb; and last but not least, the Beasts Of Bourbon’s infamous Spencer P Jones who plays slide guitar on the closing track, a ball-tearing cover of The Gun Club’s For The Love Of Ivy (important sidenote: Spencer was actually in TGC for a short time). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The long and perverted history of King Daddy is a twisted tale from start to finish – and is best left for another day – but suffice to say, it has left no less than four guitarists shattered and smashed on the rocks of fate and has been knocking about the traps long enough to become the stuff of myth and legend… much like the Loch Ness Monster – only twice as ferocious and ten times as good looking. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The line-up as it exists today is: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nazz on lead vocals/harmonica/monkey dances -----------------------------------------------------
Rich Gohl on hot-wired guitars/backing vocals [of Longhorn] ----------------------------------------
Pange on jungle drums/yowling backing vocals (lead on two tracks) -----------------------------
Danielle Schriever on bass/sensual backing vocals (SAMI Award winner for Best Bassist 2006) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has toured Melbourne and Brisbane umpteen times, leaving many a hangover and broken heart in its wake and played with such people as:
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Bob Log III, the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow, The Scientists, Spencer P Jones, Japan’s Supersnazz, The Cruel Sea, Dallas Crane, sixFThick, Rocket Science, The Devastations, The Drones and The Mess Hall to name but a few. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evil Love is the sound of evil minds, bruised souls, twisted hearts, dirty sex and redemption - and will pop a firecracker into your knickers, ready and raring to blow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
King Daddy has crawled out of the swamps of Australia’s murder capital… and is on its way to a live music venue near you.
Be afraid… be very afraid. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey there, sorry to be one of those people but here's a bulk message... from the heart.
We're been hitting the road with friends 'The British Robots' and travelling all along the east coast. This Saturday we celebrate a successful tour with the Adelaide home show finale! We're going to be at The Rhino Room on June 20th (this Saturday) at 9pm with 'The Honey Pies' who are more than awesome in their own right!
Hey……… Thanks for being our friend over the years…... We're about to release in a few weeks our new 5th CD….”SIGNS” Have a preview listen and a look at our new myspace face lift for the promo for it..... The Streamliners sending you some good vibes for 2009.
Hi King Daddy We wanna thank you for your very important support in those sad days.
This thanx are in our name, in the name of Enrico's wife Paola and in the name of his sons.
Enrico Micheletti's ashes are flyin' throughout the universe and we hope his soul is finally arrived at a beautiful destination.
What about his music and the music we had recorded toghether?
We finally decide to get it out. We wanna remeber Enrico in this way. In the first quarter of 2009 we will publish all our and Enrico Micheletti' s materials on Itunes and many other stores on the web.
We'll send you a message when it's all ready.
God bless you!!!
Marry Christmas and Have a wonderful 2009!!!
KEEP THE BLUES ALIVEEEE!!!!!!!
Ciao King Daddy ti volevamo ringraziare per le tue parole e per il tuo sostegno in periodo così difficile per noi.
Questi ringraziamenti non sono formali, sono veramente sinceri a nome nostro, della moglie di Enrico Paola e a nome dei suoi figli.
Le ceneri di Enrico Micheletti sono disperse nel mar Tirreno e stanno viaggiando nell' universo. Noi speriamo che anche la sua anima abbia raggiunto finalmente il miglior approdo possibile.
Cosa fare del suo materiale in nostro possesso e del materiale che abbiamo registrato insieme?
Dopo aver pensato a lungo sul da farsi abbiamo deciso di pubblicarlo. Lo pubblicheremo su Itunes ed altri siti così tutti potranno trovarlo se lo cercano. Glielo dobbiamo. Glielo deve chi lo ha conosciuto.
Cercheremo di pubblicare tutto ciò che è in nostro possesso nei primi mesi del 2009.
Appena sarà tutto pronto ti faremo sapere.
Per adesso ti auguriamo Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo. Dio ti benedica ancora, grazie. Suonate il blues più che potete!!!!!
