*SHIPPING FOR 14TH OCT* If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away. King Champion Sounds came to life after being asked to open for Mike Watt at the start of 2013. Ajay (Donkey / The Bent Moustache) picked up the challenge of opening for a musical inspiration (and friend) and wrote an entirely new set of songs for a one-off show. Recruiting GW Sok (lyrics commandante and ex The Ex vocalist), Oli (Shrug / Year Of Birds), Mees (a 17 year old wunderkind drummer) and a horn section featuring ol' school jazzers Ditmer and Chris, the band set about a period of intensive rehearsals and culminated in a show that received acclaim from a packed venue and from Watt and his cohorts as well. The gauntlet was thrown for better things, and duly taken by the band. More well received shows were played and an album has been recorded titled "Different Drummer" (to be released on Monday 14 October). These tracks reached the ears of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who insisted on KCS opening for them at a sold out show at the Paradiso in July. October 2013 sees the release of the debut album ("Different Drummer" will be released on the band's own label Wormer Bros.) and 13 shows in 13 days taking in the Netherlands, Belgium, and the UK. Touching on the jams created by The Fall, Can, Sun Ra, Captain Beefheart, Public Image Limited, King Tubby, this band will set your pulse racing. Don't miss out!!! LP comes with a
