Japan’s Iconic blues punk band King Brothers are returning to Australia in September and local label Cheersquad has announced a limited edition 12-song tour LP to coincide.
Known as Japan's most dangerous live act and their unique blend of barbed-wire blues and toxic punk rock, King Brothers promise a tour that will leave crowds breathless. This will be the band's first Australian tour since 2016.
The tour LP, “Hell Oh! Oz”, will be limited to 300 copies - 150 in fluro-green and 150 in green/white marble - with a download card and will be released on August 23. It’s available for pre-order here.
Taking to the stage in trademark black and white suits, the group never fails to amaze audiences with their insanely high-octane performances. Within seconds, they burst into life and all hell breaks loose, with a cacophony of guitars, vocals and drums smashing full tilt into their waiting fans.
Formed on the gritty streets of Nishinomiya, Japan, in 1998, King Brothers’ genre-smashing sound quickly garnered international attention, with the Godfather of Punk Blues himself, Mr Jon Spencer, coming on board as their producer.
With releases on EMI at home and on esteemed garage label In The Red in the US, the band has shared stages with the White Stripes and The Strokes. They taken their powerful sound to stages around the world, playing Fuji Rock Festival (Japan), Goner Fest (USA), and Meredith Music Festival, where they stole the show in 2007.
