Bio
King Sauce is a "novelty-pop" project out of Columbus, NJ headed by Richie Chodes. Combining 70's am radio, 60's pop, and a touch of vaudeville, King Sauce creates catchy tunes with silly, tounge in cheek lyrics ala Randy Newman. Aptly named for a Burger King condiment, King Sauce sometimes borders on the offensive but all in the name of fun! Picture the Monkees meet Weird Al and you'll get the picture. They have released a 7" vinyl EP for hhbtm records in 1999, a split vinyl EP for Obtuse records in 2001, and a full length cd "Please don't change the channel" for hhbtm records in 2002, as well as various compilations. Richie Chodes also was the bass player/keyboardist for the Elephant 6 based "Vince Mole and his Calcium Orchestra" headed by former Apples in Stereo guitarist Chris Parfitt. Update: Well, you've heard it before, but this time Kingsauce really means it! He is releasing his final cd which he just finished recording with his son Corey on drums. He has gone back to his "roots" for this last EP, back to the "lo-fi" sound of his early stuff (i.e. Odo to Lobo). He is anticipating a late summer release on Parasol records. Here are the new tracks: 1. I love you Alice B. Nelson 2. Lucky (the 6 million dollar cat) 3. I wish I could love you (but your not Jewish) 4.

Optical Atlas' Jeff Kuykendall said, "The album revealed his true concept for Kingsauce as a satirical guitar-pop band, singing about 70's sitcoms and films while channeling, so to speak, the music of the same period." ..
