About Me

We have always been linked in some sense. The king hats were formed in Glasgow sometime in the last year (2007). I can't be anymore specific than it was still light in the evenings. Myself, Bert and Russell were up to all sorts at one of gregs now infamous house partys when we got chatty and started making plans of booking a rehearsal room and making some serious noise. we needed some bang bang into the plan so we ended up with Carlo, I jest of course. I've known Carlo since I can remember and he's always been pretty handy on the drums and so it was . We started writing songs with the only intention being that we loved playing them.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/13/2007
Band Website: thekinghats.com
Band Members: Carlo Acosta - Drums/vocals

Russell Stewart - Bass/vocals

Robert MacLeod - Guitar/vocals

Alan Power - Vocals/guitar

Influences: We are all into lots of things. Carlo is a huge fan of Miles Davis and jazz in general. If you ask Russell he will probably say nobody does it better than Radiohead. As for myself, I would say the Clash are cool as fuck. And Bert, I think it would be Bright Eyes or Cursive, not sure. We formed at a strange time, loads of drum n bass nights at the Soundhaus.
Sounds Like: I have been told by a girl I met at the Art School, who had been at our first gig, that we sounded a wee bit indie with post hardcore sensibilities. She was off her lid of course. But I liked it.
Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: None
