Three Kings & A Jack are a South Shields-based alternative rock group that have been shuffling their way around the bars and clubs of the North East since the summer of 2007.
The band first started playing together when they met at school, before they left for college where they decided to give the ‘being a real band’ idea a try. Soon after, they were playing live showcasing arrays of covers along with their own original songs.
3K1J consists of Milburn (Guitar/Vocals), Dan B (Lead Guitar), Dan C (Bass) and Jack (Drums). The combined influences of the group are somewhat eclectic, with inspiration ranging from classic rock to rap to blues, so no doubt you’ll find something within their melodies to suit your tastes.
Over the past months, several songs have been written amongst members and developed as a band both in practice and whilst playing live, a technique that they still believe is an effective method today; each member brings their own element to the grouped effort.
At present, the band have a six song demo entitled ‘Joker Demos’ which includes songs that were recorded during their time at college and also in Milburn’s bedroom using make-shift recording techniques.
They hope to get into the studio soon to record updated versions of these songs along with the many others that they have conceived since.
Three Kings & A Jack can currently be seen playing around the North East and, with an album’s worth of songs to be recorded, will hopefully be dealing you in for a long while yet.
