We are Kingston! An alternative powerpop band from Auckland City. Danny Boy and Scotty Boy have spent the last 3 years writing songs and preparing for what is now 'Kingston'. Forming in early November 2005 with new members Ben Barter and Shohan Hustwick, the band joined musical powers and is now ready to make you dance!
