Get Trippy with Kings & Queens

posted in: Artist Features • Music News

With a slot in the Noise Pop schedule, a spot on the RCRDLBL roster and a new album set to release this spring, Kings & Queens are ready to hold court in 2009. Judging from the momentum the band has built up over the past few years, this won’t be the last we’ll hear from them. The band’s achievement list so far includes featuring songs on A&E Television and in a Nike Video, as well as opening for Bat for Lashes.

Known for their original sound that integrates psychedelic energy with sleepy melancholy, the Kings & Queens are the masters of audio illusions. As the California newspaper, The Union, puts it, “The soulful songs on the pair’s 2006 EP have a hallucinatory power that conjures up mirages and shimmering light… resonant organ riffs combined with Rich Good’s guitar reverb are the foundation of their magical soundscape.”

Feel free to get a little trippy and check out Kings & Queens with Sleepy Sun, Lumerians,and True Widow at Bottom of the Hill tomorrow or (if your trip isn’t going to take you to San Francisco) listen to them on OurStage:
