Influences
Psychedelic soup, space, groove, hypnotic, jam, wall of sound, jazz, rock, from out of the swamps of the deep south coast. A refreshing mash of honest blurting. Can, Birthday Party, Hawkwind, Mushroom, Beefheart, Velvet Underground, My Bloody Valentine, Gong, Alabama Three, Joy Division, Free jazz Coltrane with a hangover
AND oil lamps AND all the smells of th ruby-lith unyverse, beetl hair,
hares, the sound of sliding metal and wolfcrytails
and john cage and unwrapping chocolate in the rain;
the smooth delicious sound of trumpets diving intro
marshmellow waters while the bluejays scatter gun

MR CARTWRIGHT sax Kyng met
ANDY bass Kyng and were parts of The Red Snappers (amongst others) back in bad ol Berlin when the wall kept their noise in. Via musics, cities and seas they settled independently on Brighton where
ROSS vocalizing n guitar Kyng was the new catalyst, looming n growlin' up from out of the Virginia swamps, cool and slow with plenty of precision, with a back beat narrow and hard to master (sorry Jim)…….well actually it was Brighton and from his involvement in experimental rock duo Original Gravity and other south coast mysterious science musics.
MONTY OXYMORON keyboards n sometimes drums n sometimes everything else Kyng key boarding in the Damned and then also alongside Captain Sensible, with one of the great festival bands: Dr Space Toad Experience. So many projects, so much material and now also star of YouTube.
HI CLIFF effects n lights the glue and recordist Kyng, man mountain, hear his flanging, and feel the beat of his bodhran Also performing as trance electro man Xanthus. Producing and recording is his other game. His is to add all the extra joy and fizz to the NOW LEGENDARY live performances, lending The Kyngs their unique retro lazer light, acid 'n' oil psychedelic live edge.
MICKEY guitars n fuzzes Kyng history shows him in The Pioneers with John Entwistle, with Steve Hyams of Mott The Hoople, Tim Rose, Mick Flynn, The Dubliners, Sisters Of Mercy, Phil Manzanera, The Wiseguys and so many varied others, a list too long.
RICHARD drummer n percussives Kyng and also of Space Ritual and Inner City Unit with Nik Turner (Hawkwind), Here And Now, House Of Thandoy, The Dharma Bums, Gong, Daevid Allen's tea maker, drummer and hat wearer, again others and a list too long.
THE HOBBIT accordian Kyng the lyrical Shires dawg, pumping and contracting, textural, soundtrack, undercurrent of the Sumerian Kyngs live sound.
HONKIN STU harmonicas Kyng, a regular on the Brighton music scene playing with many and various. Wonderfully haunting, plaintive and grooving, topping off with staccato chugs and filling his way through live sets…and when the mood takes, dancin and a prancin with the crowd....................... AND ROSS SAYS....................
AS I WAS SAYING BEFORE YOU SPOKE IN YONGO, ZOOMER SHANDY
WAS DOWN THE MARLBOROUGH ON A DUSKY SUMMERS EVE, WHEREPON
MONTY OXYMORON WAS PLAYING THE STAGE WITH STAG-HEAD HEELS.
ZOOMER STRODE SHARPISH UP TO THE NIGHT'S PROMOTER AND SAID
WITHOUT AS MUCH AS HOWS YOUR UNKLE - " MY BAND MUST PLAY HERE! ON THE NEXT REAL MUSIC NIGHT..."WHAT'S THE BAND CALLED?" SPOKE MKAY. " ZOOMER WAS A NANO-SECOND DUMBFOUNDED, COZ HE HAD NO NAME, AND COME TO THAT NO BAND NEITHER. "THE SUMERIAN KYNGS" HE BLURTED...AS IF THAT WAS REASON FOR EVERYTHING. "WOW - OKAY WE BOOK YOU SAID MKAY, "YOU'RE ON IN FOUR WEEKS!"
AT THAT POINT AS YOU KNOW ZOOMER RUSHED AROUND THE AUDIENCE
GETTING HIM HIS BAND TOGETHER, AND IN TWO DAYS HE HAD THE FULL
METAL JACKET WITH JENNER ON DRUMS WHOM HE NEARLY MOWED DOWN
ON THE SIDEWALK NR PRESTON CIRCUS. "DO YOU WANT TO PLAY DRUMS
