Infusing the soul of the 60's and the funk of the 70's, The Carnevel Kings spin a contemporary, funky stew of greasy r&b and buttery soul. The band will put just about anything on their musical plate and as it is with any good stew - the more you put in it, the better it gets. Members have a rich collective and individual history doing time with funk legends Parliament/Funkadelic, latin funksters OO Soul, the award winning soul/cabaret act The Helmut Stein Experience, jazz chanteuse Julie Day, lounge purveyors The Tikiyaki Orchestra & even the art/rockers National Peoples Gang.

Allensworth At The Continental Room In Downtown Fullerton This Friday! Cruise Through For A Free Show With Familiar Faces And Good Stiff Drinks! Voted #1 Best Way To Start Your Labor Day Weekend!
THE CARNEVEL KINGS dear: Very tuneful steady vocals, festive carnival-like melodies, back grounded by present living metals. "World we living" is my best-loved musical number, however your repertoire is beautiful every single song. Your music is from now on, to me, distinct and referential, another fountain of sounds to know and consult. Hope you might find my simple provincial music of any interest, if so please drop me a line giving me your appreciation and a due account on my wares. My felicitations and good luck in your musical career. Please accept a fraternal musical embrace from your admirer living down here in Minas Gerais, the land of freedom, folkloric music and heart of Brazil,
Thanks for checkin' out our pics. I bet a lot of bands in this area know that stage. We haven't even gotten to play on it yet, but we're just starting to make our way onto the scene. I hear a couple of you guys were recording some tracks with Jennifer Schroeder. I play with her every once in a while, too. Your tracks sound great. I'll have to check you guys out some time. -Nick
