   About The Luxury Kings


This trio puts its fierce instrumental foundation to work in songs that set the hills of North Missisippi against the shores of Muscle Shoals; that slide Texas boogie next to Memphis soul; that blend rhythm and blues with straight-up rock. All with a big, big beat and no apologies.

This isn't your same old Blues-Rock, and at the same time, nobody in the band is ready to say that it is or isn't blues, or rock, or soul, or anything else you might hear for a moment in the music. At the same time, The Luxury Kings know that the thing they do has got enough soul to be as real as it needs to be, and every note is for real, so it must be totally right.

The Luxury Kings explore new blues in the tradition of the great power-trios, both re-interpreting traditional blues and creating new original electric blues-inspired music. Guitarist Jason Pastras , bassist Eric Leland and drummer Luke Wampler have been playing in bands together off and on since they were in high school.

As original material began to replace covers, and the music became less traditional and more of a creative collaboration, The Luxury Kings looked towards creating and recording their own sound. Their debut CD, "This One's For Chico", was released in the fall of 2002. Containing 8 original songs, Chico was quickly embraced by the Atlanta music scene, getting favorable reviews in Creative Loafing and the Atlanta Blues Society Newsletter. Brisk sales at shows and on www.cdbaby.com, and local radio airplay on local music shows including 96 Rock's Peach Jam, Z-93s Blue Sunday and the WRFG morning shows have kept The Kings Chico running strong into 2004.

After participating in a number of local tribute concerts (Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and others) The Luxury Kings found their sound leaning more classic rock than blues. The sessions for their CD, “Chico Beats The Devil” found the Luxury Kings embracing classic rock, blues, Memphis soul, southern rock, funk and even gospel influences. They also recorded a three song Jimi Hendrix Tribute EP dusing these sessions. Unlike the first record, where Eric and Jason contributed completed songs, all of the songs on “Chico Beats The Devil” were at least in part written by the entire band. The addition of keyboardist Joe Worrell on four tunes also expanded the Luxury Kings’ sonic landscape, as did the addition of acoustic guitars, bottleneck slide guitar and percussion instruments.

The Luxury Kings are currently pursuing their mission to bring their brand of blues-inspired music to the world and beyond.....
