Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Fiona Apple, Ani Difranco, Brother Ali, Atmosphere. Other kick ass bands we get down to: Paula Fuga, Sidestreet Reny, Ben Harper, Amy Winehouse, Juliette & The Licks, Cold War Kids.
Imagine Stevie Ray Vaughan’s dirty blues guitar stylings crossed with Janis Joplin or Aretha Franklin on vocals, and on occasion you can toss in some hip-hop, turntables, djembe, or didgeridoo. Formerly known as X Factor, The Kings of Spade are Hawaii’s freshest fusion of original funk, soul, blues, and rock. The band just returned from a 2 year stint in Los Angeles recording their debut studio album “Crave” (mainland release September 2009) and playing regularly in LA's hot spots including The Avalon, Sunset Strip’s Viper Room, and The House of Blues. Their song “Boys In The Band” is featured in the film and soundtrack for the Warner Brother’s released “Utopian Society.” Check out our

Thanks for an awesome performance once again...You guys rocked the fuck'n house (that was CHURCH...lol). I first saw you guys play at the old Speak EZ and you blew me away. Since then I've tried to make it to most your shows here in L.A. I took some friends with me to the Viper...they left speechless. I took some more pictures and I'll post them soon. I got a CD from you KC...thanks! I'm glad you guys had fun during your stay. Let me know when you come back to L.A. and I'll support any way I can.
Hey! I see posters around Chinatown that you guys are playing on the 25th at next door but it's not on your upcoming events list. What's the deal? I have a large party of birthday girls coming to dance to your music and no one else will do. Tell me it's true! You are playing on the 25th at next door?
It was such a treat havin you guys play the North Shore this past Friday, Thanks for coming out. The best of luck on your tour, you guys are gonna be huge! Peace and Aloha
Grats Guys. It's always amazing to see people from my old school Days (Rebel Girl UG) Make it. Viper Room? House Of Blues? On a Movie Soundtrack?!?! Sweet! I'll see you guys when I get out there hopefully. March 30 - Apr 9. Cheers and Aloha until then. -Cameron
