King’s Horses

Good ol' ROck & ROll

About Me

For the past year and a half we have not written a bio. We’re not good at talking about ourselves. The preceding might sound a little square…but then again we’re the kind of band that uses words like “square” and “preceding”...
From drunken crowded basement shows in Riverwest to the Cactus Club and Vnuk’s, even opening up for national touring acts at The Rave, King's Horses is a product of it’s environment. They have a unique pop sensibility that grounds an aggressive energetic sound that could only come from Milwaukee. Pulling from bands like The Pixies, Braid, The Smiths and Appleseed Cast: Kings Horses makes every show memorable and powerful.
Matt Slater fronts the band behind his wailing screaming telecaster. The only thing more impressive then his vocal ability is his intricate, tongue-in-cheek wordplay.
Jack Packard is a self-taught bass player who loves a big chorus and hand claps. He uses his universal lack of music knowledge to create catchy pounding bass lines.
Kyle Martin is the beat that keeps the group together. They say a band is only as good as their drummer, and in this case Kyle’s complex but strait forward rock and roll makes sure to keep the crowd on their feet dancing all night.
