KING'S X To Release 'Live Love In London'

August 26, 2010

International music critics and rock gourmets agree: KING'S X is among the most unusual acts in the history of rock music. Their technical skills are above reproach, and their creativity has impressed fans and media alike. Next to RUSH, there is currently no other rock trio capable of producing such a dense and at the same time transparent sound. The much-anticipated double CD/DVD set, "Live Love in London", showcases prime examples of KING'S X's incredible live show of classic groove rock featuring great melodies with vocal harmonies, driving rhythms and tough guitars. The album is set for an October 26 release through InsideOut Music and will be available as a deluxe DVD+2CD edition in a special embossed package, as well as a 2CD set. A standard DVD-only version will also be available exclusively through CMDistro.com.

"Live Love in London" is the first official DVD release by a band renowned for just such a transcendent rock show! The KING'S X trio of Ty Tabor (guitar, vocals),Dug Pinnick (bass, vocals) and Jerry Gaskill (drums, vocals) have spanned continents and decades together, honing their craft, welcoming their fans in to experience inspired performances that come from their hearts.

"Live Love in London" was shot in January of 2009 at the Electric Ballroom in London, U.K., because, as Tabor states, "London was the first place that accepted KING'S X. It has always been my favorite place to play." Pinnick recalls, "We were touring the U.S., playing for very small crowds, then we went to London; it was the Marquee and it was sold out!" Gaskill agrees, "London was the first place to make me feel like we might actually be a valid band."

Sep. 23 - The Chance, Poughkeepsie, NY
Sep. 24 - Ram's Head Live , Baltimore, MD

KING'S X's 2008 album, "XV", sold 4,450 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 145 on the Billboard 200 chart. This marked the first time in over a decade that the band had cracked the Top 200 in the first week of release.

KING'S X's "Gretchen Goes To London: Live At The Astoria 5.6.90" DVD was released in November 2008 via Molken Music. The set documents the historic show at the Astoria Theatre in 1990 and includes never-before-seen footage. The DVD was produced by Wally Farkas and has a running time of 64 minutes.
