King's X Announce Sprint Tour in Support of 'Live Love in London' & Latest Studio Release 'XV'!

Legendary rockers King's X will return to the North American tour circuit this spring for their first West Coast run in three years. Aptly named the "First Church of Rock and Roll" tour, King's X will spread their progressive fusion of hard Rock, funk and soul on a 4-week trek starting March 28 in Austin, TX and extending through April 21 in Denver, CO.

It will be the first time the band - bassist/vocalist dUg Pinnick, guitarist/vocalist Ty Tabor and drummer/vocalist Jerry Gaskill - have played most of these cities since 2009, and will mark their first West Coast dates in support of 'Live Love In London', the live CD/DVD follow-up to latest studio release 'XV'.

Live Love In London is the most expansive King's X live offering to date, a career-encompassing package featuring "It's Love," "Over My Head," "Black Flag," "Lost In Germany" and more. Recorded live January 22, 2009 at the Electric Ballroom, the 3-disc CD/DVD package (also available as a 2-CD set) showcases the amazing live performances that King's X have been delivering to fans around the world for the past 25 years.

Fall Of The Albatross: Metal meets Jazz, meets Funk with a Mix of Chaos!

Fall Of The Albatross is a band that possesses musical qualities that are rare to find within Heavy Music. Through a mix of Heavy Metal, Jazz, and even Funk music, FOTA offers a sonic experience that is original, well though out and extremely spasmic. Add to this the amazing vocal range that vocalist Ray Hodge delivers, and you got yourself ear heaven mixed with hell.

This band offers the listener chunks of meaty riffs, shredded notes, baked in a warm blanket of soulful emotions, garnished with odd time signatures, and covered in a drip of their finest Jazz sauce. Served on a crackling funk skillet to audiences who desire the utmost diversity in their musical palette. It's all of our favorite flavors carefully combined after years of music listening experience.

After their recent performance at the Highline Ballroom for the No Mercy Metal Showcase, in which they go to open the Kittie CD Release show for "I've Failed You", FOTA are ready for bigger and better shows. FOTA recently released an EP entitled "Entanglement", which we recommend you listen to because it will inspire your mind (see below).
