King Thief live on iCoustix, filmed at iChannel studios.

"The Inferno" for sale at Vintage Vinyl

Their songs are a requiem for discerning music lovers. King Thief (formerly known as Ultra Blue), the unassuming quintet from the streets of St. Louis, is the harbinger of a burgeoning new sound: Punk-pop cabaret. Fusing together bits of new wave, punk, rock, pop, classical, and wrapping it with a thespians flair, King Thief is poised to expand their success on a national level.

The group has created a roar for themselves in their oft-overlooked hometown. A thousand people showed up to the release of their previous
album, Maya(2004), which sold just as many copies. Radio spins from across the country, a growing European and collegiate fan base; playing any shit town they can and putting time into opening shows for groups such as Breaking Benjamin, Story of the Year, Mourningside, and Polkadot Cadaver, to name a few, all contribute to King Thief's momentum.

Their newest offering (The Inferno-2007) offers a glimpse of King Thief's theatrical dramatics and dark story telling-most of the songs' stories include a characters demise.

While on stage, King Thief shows incredible presence.  Crowds seem to be constantly singing along with Brooks Bracken and crew (they all seem to sing).  A self taught pianist and jack-of-all-trades musician, Bracken writes the group's lyrics. He left his place at the keys to interact with the group's audience; longtime pal Nevada Alpine Kent (truly his name) assumed the job; "Bert" has also incorporates organ and lush vocal harmonies with plenty of drama. Louis Wall, King Thief's classically trained percussionist did stints in a youth orchestra and Drum and Bugle Corps.  Together he and bassist Jon Hill create a very fit rhythm section. Guitarist Sam Hill completes the group with his innovative playing style; equally pooling from both traditional seventies guitar heroics and 1990's atmospherics

King Thief's music is a dramatic play upon rock, less pretentious than
the 70s operas, less formulaic than their pop compatriots. If ever
there was a group to merit hype, they are it.

"King Thief....has created quite an epic feeling album along the same lines of emotional rock bands like Muse and Ours."

"The Inferno" as a whole flows incredibly well and the production is clear. This is not a "recorded in the drummer's basement" release but a solid, potentially career-jumping album." -Elizabeth Staudt, The Current, Saint Louis
