Legendary rockers KING'S X will return to the North American tour circuit this spring for their first West Coast run in three years. Named the "First Church Of Rock And Roll", the four-week trek will start on March 28 in Austin, Texas and extend through April 21 in Denver, Colorado. It will be the first time the band — bassist/vocalist Doug Pinnick, guitarist/vocalist Ty Tabor and drummer/vocalist Jerry Gaskill — have played most of these cities since 2009, and will mark their first West Coast dates in support of "Live Love In London", the live CD/DVD follow-up to latest studio release, "XV".

"Live Love In London" is the most expansive KING'S X live offering to date, a career-encompassing package featuring "It's Love", "Over My Head", "Black Flag", "Lost In Germany" and more. Recorded live January 22, 2009 at the Electric Ballroom, the three-disc CD/DVD package (also available as a two-CD set) showcases the amazing live performances that KING'S X have been delivering to fans around the world for the past 25 years.
