Revolving Admiral Ackbar and New Songs!

If it was down to one thing we love about Melbourne, it’s the great music scene, especially other Ska bands… in particular, that Ska band we share our trombone player with.

Bartlett is so very bouncey.

Well, we couldn't find any decent photos of us from Revolver, so here's our bassist in a jumping castle.

After coming off an intensely energetic gig with our new best buds “Admiral Ackbar’s Dishonourable Discharge” at Revolver Upstairs, we’re feeling very optimistic about the future of the band.

Not very often King City does mid-week gigs, and due to Jason X running around abroad, we had a Phil-in drummer, so it was quite a unique gig for us. BUT, as this was such fun (and somewhat inspiring) to play with a band whose energy levels approach that of The Seven, we might even do some more (on weeknights, that is… not without Jason, ha).

Alright, we know we just recently released Scarlet Flame, but we couldn’t just stop there, could we? Recently we’ve been jamming out one new song every week. Expect to hear an completely new unreleased song being thrown into our set some time in the near future.

Where and when can you hear these new songs? Well, for our fans that live out here in the western  suburbs, we are planning one or more local gigs (and some all aged gigs for ALL those fans who were screwed over with their date of birth) and we might just bust out a new tune one in the near future, so keep on our Facebook page, and as always, there will be tonnes more gigs in Melbourne for our devoted citizens of King City.

King City and a bag of chips!

The merch competition is now CLOSED. Thanks for all those who voted in this quick competition on facebook. It seems the “Blobby Man” reigned supreme with 48% of the votes, so we might just have to put a large order in with Mr. Blob Guy. :D

Where can you get some of these fantastic shirts, you ask? Why, at King City gigs, of course! Our next gig is at The Evelyn Hotel supporting Apollo Pathway with the launch of their new single. It looks like it will be a huge night for them and we’re very happy to kick the night off! Hope to see all our long-standing fans (and the new ones too) down there to party with us!
