About the Artist
KINGS OF SPADE dish out a raw and grungey blend of urban funk, dirty blues, deep soul and rock. Don't let the tattooed arms or florescent mohawk of lead singer, Kasi Nunes, fool you. Kasi's whaling vocals are fiery, passionate, and a unique hybrid of soul queens Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin. Proud of not being boxed in a specific genre, the KINGS can remind you of a classic fist-pumping rock band in one number, take you for a dance-pop ride in the next, and then charge straight into an old smokey blues riff. Their shameless dancing, foot-stomping, and highly energetic live show has landed them gigs at LA's House of Blues, The Avalon, and The Viper Room, as well opening for world-famous acts like Bon Jovi, Daughtry, Mutemath, Everclear, Kings X and the Deftones. Their song “Boys In The Band” is featured on the film soundtrack for the Warner Brother’s released “Utopian Society.” In 2012 KOS kicked off a cross-country tour at the Autumn Lights Festival in Los Angeles capturing fans in Arizona, Austin, Boston, Vermont, and New York. They played an extensive 22 show US Mainland Tour in March 2013 which included a performance on Good Morning Austin on Fox 7 news several showcases at the theRedGorilla Music Festival, the Dirty Dog, Blind Pig Rooftop Stage, and the Texas Rockfest Stage in Austin . They just finished recording their 2nd studio album in Nashville with producer Dave Cobb (Rival Sons, Shooter Jennings), with a release date set for February 14, 2014. "San Antone" the second track off of the new album has already been licensed to an upcoming major motion picture. Kings of Spade will launch a 20-city US Mainland tour in support of the new album in March 2014.Achievements
