All the King's Horses

Take this dance with a little romance.

About Me

In May 2006 four friends formed All the King’s Horses. After seeing each other perform in various bands around Saskatoon, they came together to form a group with the intention of featuring their individual strengths.
Shortly after gathering in Christian and Emde’s living room, the band relocated to a rehearsal space in Saskatoon’s central warehouse district. During the next 12 months, writing led to rehearsing, rehearsing led to performing, and to concentrating on the recording of their demo entitled Cold Water.
They quickly developed a reputation from their sound and songwriting. In The Star Phoenix Silas Polkinghorne wrote:
"The songs are catchy and danceable – with pulsating post-punk rhythms and piercing riffs – but are also dark and compelling. Frontman Christian’s thin frame hides a robust, potent voice and a detached stage swagger. His singing is sharp and arresting, a fierce touchstone that pulls together the band’s urgent sound."
All the King’s Horses bring energy and intimacy to the stage.
*All the King's Horses wish to thank all those who supported us and helped us along the way. We have decided to end the band in light of the different interests and responsibilities that life has now presented to us. Thankyou once again-ATKH
