Fruitbag - vocals and guitar
The King Blues have come a long way in their four years together - and they're primed to go a lot further yet.
Armed with a ukulele, a guitar and a commitment to politics and resistance, The King Blues began life in 2004 when Itch and Jamie Jazz began performing at squat parties and punk shows in and around London. Guitarist Fruitbag joined soon after. Inspired by the reggae-reared punk bands such as The Clash, The Specials and Operation Ivy and the growing worldwide resistance movement, they played anywhere that would have them - pavements, car parks, political rallies and on The King Blues Sound System - a mobile PA carried on a giant tricycle that the band built, allowing them to play literally anywhere. Few bands can say they genuinely come from the streets, but The King Blues are one of them.
Expanded to a six-piece live, The King Blues' guerilla tactics, support from Radio 1's Mike Davies and heavy road work - including tours with kindred spirits such as Anti Flag, Bedouin Soundclash and Gogol Bordello, and one record-breaking day that saw seven shows in seven towns - lead to them releasing Under The Fog with leading UK punk label Household Name.
