History...
Constantly flirting with elements of pop punk, swing and dirty rock, The Kings of Vegas are a young, fresh, alternative, rock band hailing from Cape Town, South Africa. The Kings of Vegas burst onto the Cape Town music scene in the summer of 2007, quickly becoming a crowd favourite, with their energetic live performances and infectious brand of rock n roll.
More recently, they have shared the stage with some of South Africa’s hottest bands (Cassette, Shy Guevara’s and The City Bowl Misers) to name, but a few.
They were also very well received at this years Splashy Fen Music festival (Oldest SA Fest), where they brought the house down during their fierce live performance. So much so that their first single "Murder under the Mirrorball" was included on the festival compilation Cd.
The Kings, having completed their recording in Serotonin Sound Studios, for their much anticipated Debut EP album, entitled... Murder under the mirrorball, was released in August 2008.
The band officially began late in the winter of 2006. Zack Emmanuel (Bass) joined up with childhood friends, Wesley "Doonk" Daniels (Drums), Wesley Currin (Guitar) and Ryan Weideman (Guitar), formally of Scarlet System. Four became Five, several months later, when Richard Kronk (Vocals & Synth), former front man of Humanera, joined to complete the line up, and The Kings of Vegas emerged.
The Kings draw from an eclectic base of musical influences and styles, which culminates into their unique brand of music.
