A little known fact lies that in fact we are not kings at all. A sideburned bird spotter, a drunken train spotter and an intensive care nurse walk into a bar. It's in this bar that they decide to play some songs for a friend's birthday. This is a surprising triumph (or at least is was in our alcohol soaked brains...)
We decide we shall continue this unholy trinity to the point of broken strings, broken amps and a show akin to 'carnage on a stick.' All whilst trying to remember the next change that's only seconds away... this is knife edge stuff!
We've even managed to record some tunes...
Oh yeah! We are a 'serious' band and sound nothing like Elvis...
Enjoyed the gigette on Friday at the Yorkie...nice to hear an old Limebirds toon creep into the set and particularly enjoyed the cover of "I'm so lonesome I could cry" with Mark 50 on harmonica. What next?
