About king pest

realeditorbest profile toolsrealeditorbest profile tools
We are King Pest, a guitar 4 piece from Manchester.

We've here so you can listen to where we're coming from. If you like what you hear then check out our tour dates and come watch us live!

Our music is hook-laden and we only write truth. We embody the citys traditional heritage of great musicians - i.e. we have little idea about what is going on elsewhere and better still do not care.

QUOTES:

"Hugely original and spectacularly individual" - MANCHESTER MUSIC DEMO REVIEW

"King Pest seem rather timeless – downbeat pop with a cutting edge. The main surprise to me is how good Steven's voice is. The quietly spoken man has a classic rock voice. They are a bloody good rock band and that's fine by me." - INDIE DAD-LONDON REVIEW.

"What they have is all you need, the sort of tunes that worm their way into your head and stay there." - MANCHESTER MUSIC LIVE REVIEW

"King Pest have a sound all of their own and ensure you'll be hitting the repeat button a few times...The songs make the perfect accompaniment to a lazy summer's afternoon...sublime power-pop melodies that make for a unique sound" - SANDMAN MAGAZINE.

"King Pest deal more in the language of the scrapheap and reject pile - offering up glorious, tub-thumping pop songs which manage to be simultaneously intelligent, romantic, universal AND gloriously championing the real underdogs in society. More outlaws than outsiders then." - David Sue - MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS ARTICLE "King Pest are unlike most other acts of recent time...Effectively, King Pest dare to be different." OCTOPUS - FACEBOOK REVIEW PAGE

Room Tones	Oct 29 2009 8:51 PM Thank you! Tickets SELLING FAST! £7 adv avaliable from (more on the door): wegottickets.com seetickets.com Ticketline Picadilly Records Grouper (US) has her latest – Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill – of three albums on Type Records. She has also been involved in collaborative releases, contributing a track to Xiu Xiu’s Remixed & Covered and four tracks to a split release with Inca Ore. Her other contemporaries are Belong, Growing, Tim Hecker, Windy & Carl and Atlas Sound. Jasper TX (Sweden), with a hefty back-catalogue of releases on labels such as Miasmah, and collaborations with buddy Machinefabriek, is an essential domestic appliance in the household of conceptual music. He is comparable to artists Fennesz, Sigur Ros, Múm and Tape. Intricate and atmospheric songsmith, Danny Saul (UK) performs with different combinations of musicians, making each gig a unique event. His forthcoming release is "Harsh, Final", and he also performs with Greg Haines as Liondialer. Fieldhead (UK) music delights in tape hiss, bleak landscapes and decaying analogue loops. He is also a member of The Declining Winter and Glissando. His debut album, "They Shook Hands for Hours" is released soon on Home Assembly.

Red Painted Red	Sep 22 2009 9:53 PM Hi, Hope all is well. Just a short note to inform of Red Painted Red's latest release 'Colours' and limited edition boxset.
Room Tones	Sep 13 2009 7:34 PM Thank you! Tickets £6 adv avaliable from (more on the door): wegottickets.com Trespassers William (Seattle, US) are the duo of Matt Brown and Anna-Lynne Williams. "Subliminally sublime and pragmatically perfect, you would have to possess an ashtray for a heart not to feel this coursing through your soul" (DSD Music Magazine). A new EP, The Natural Order of Things, is set to be released on Gizeh Records. They will make a church performance with special guests. Glissando (Sheffield, UK) “have the kind of atmosphere that can captivate and relax in equal measure- never before has tranquillity sounded so urgent. While track lengths of over 10 minutes may fail to hold the attention of the ADHD sufferers among us, with patience it plays like a majestic dream. And it's one you'll never want to wake up from." NME Operations (Chris Anderson) is a Manchester based conceptual music producer and sound artist. He performs and records with an array of analog synths and effects, reel-to-reel tape and casette players, and guitars. Followers of Tim Hecker, Slowdive, Fennesz, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Stephen O'Malley, Type and 12K Records will surely nod in approval.
