King’s X is an American rock band that combines progressive metal, funk and soul with vocal arrangements influenced by gospel, blues, and British Invasion rock groups. King’s X has something for everyone and JKB Entertainment Group/Limelight Magazine is excited to have them on The Vault’s stage for another show. Featuring original members Dug Pinnick, Ty Tabor and Jerry Gaskill, King’s X were ranked #83 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Artists Of Hard Rock and have released over a dozen albums with radio hits like “Its Love,” “Black Flag” and “Dog Man.”
Their first full-length studio offering in 14 years, Three Sides of One, represents the culmination of a bond forged way back in 1979.
“When I think of it, King’s X feels like a couple of old best friends coming together, shooting the sh*t, and having a good time,” affirms Dug. “It’s instinctual. When I would listen to demo tapes of Jerry and Ty for the record, it gave me a great perspective on how blessed I am to be in King’s X. What they did on Three Sides of One sounded so good. For as familiar as it is, it’s like I’m in a new band.”
“This time, we sat around, listened to each other’s ideas, and would collectively say, ‘Let’s work on that’,” recalls Ty. “It was the most enjoyable album I’ve personally ever recorded in my entire life, period.”
“I’ll cherish what we did in my heart forever,” agrees Jerry. “Everything lined up perfectly.”
Opening the show is Trope, an alternative rock band with progressive elements featuring vocalist Diana Studenberg. The band formed in 2016 and spent the next couple of years writing and recording demos which became their upcoming debut album Eleutheromania.
They garnered the attention of the music industry including Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Metallica) who agreed to engineer the album. David Bottrill (Tool, Peter Gabriel) also expressed interest and agreed to creatively consult and mix the album, and Ted Jensen (Alice In Chains, Pantera, Stone Temple Pilots) joined the team as mastering engineer.
