naseem khuri sings and plays a crappy acoustic guitar. he writes too. nick balkin plays a '60s hollow-body bass. will davies plays an experienced drumkit. other guys like george hall (guitar), chris barrett (trumpet) and various fiddlers join in from time to time...
Influences
lots. big ones: waits, dylan, radiohead, clash, springsteen, ennio morricone, guy clark, lucinda williams, every member of the Band, pixies, gillian welch, howlin wolf.
kingsley flood is a band that enjoys making rock and roll music.
the band formed in May 2008 when three guys from around boston (and one imposter) realized they all liked the same kind of stuff, and thought it'd be a good idea to expose others to it. drawing upon a variety of influences from a variety of genres, the band seeks its ultimate goal as achieving a sound resembling what would happen if the Band met the Clash in a back alley throwdown. maybe tom waits could come along with a trombone and some pizza.
kingsley flood is naseem khuri on guitar and vocals, nick balkin on bass, george hall on guitar, will davies on drums and other friends on other things.
if you like their songs, tell them, tell your friends, tell your grandpa. maybe even have him come out to a show. we like grandpas.
Here are "Roll of the Dice" and "Stoop Cats" from the Ryan's Smashing Life showcase appropriately called "A Night of Twang and Awe":
