About Me


Purchase our new CD "We Can Be Bought" at CDbaby.com
Kingstreet's musical irreverence and respective gambling problems don't tarnish their command of the almighty hook. Kingstreet jumps from driving alternative rock to emotional ballads, pulling it all together with a pop twist. Their much anticipated sophomore release, We Can Be Bought, marks the high point of an impressive two-year stretch.
Riding the success of their first full-length album(2004's Along Came Lizzy), Kingstreet found themselves sharing bills with top artists Gavin DeGraw, 3 Doors Down, Jessica Simpson, Nickelback, Puddle Of Mudd, Buckethead (Guns & Roses), Merl Saunders (Grateful Dead), Bob Guiney (The Bachelor), and many more. They were selected by Cornerband.com as one of the world's 30 Best Bands, and have had over 100,000 downloads of their music. Kingstreet was also selected to headline for the San Francisco bay area's largest band/industry showcases - Nadine's Wild Weekend and the DIY Convention SF. The band has also played some of the countries largest stages including the The Woodlands (Houston) and Shoreline (San Francisco) Amphitheatres, as well as the west coast's hottest clubs - The Independent, The Viper Room, Slim's, Sweetwater and The Great American Music Hall.
Already being touted as their best effort to date, We Can Be Bought could very well be the vehicle to launch Kingstreet to national success and beyond.
