About Me

What is a Nat King Tron?

Nat King Tron was originally an improv quartet assembled by John Schlicter in 2005. Currently NKT operate as a trio of fine fellows from Philadelphia who create a potent blend of off kilter, razor sharp guitar and effects flurries, anchored by pulsing bass and ass shaking bombastic beats that often blossom into seriously pleasurable waves of cinematic melody and noise.
