The King Blues play MK11 with their new album 'A Monkey Could Do That', mixing classics and new songs.
The King Blues play MK11 on Friday 5 February, part of their A Monkey Could Do That tour. It's their first album in seven years and their first double, 22 new songs and two new poems, and the set mixes the classics with the new material.
They're a London-born punk band formed in 2004 and led by Jonny 'Itch' Fox, known for a fusion of punk, ska, reggae, spoken word and hip-hop, driven by politically charged lyrics and poetry. They've also taken their Blue Bloc soundsystem to protests. Their debut album Under The Fog was recorded in their Hackney flat in just five days; since then they've landed six UK top 40 albums, supported acts like Broilers and Die Toten Hosen, and toured Japan. Itch also pursued a hip-hop-influenced solo career, which yielded a platinum record in Australia with Another Man.
More recently they returned with the mini-album Off With Their Heads, whose cover art was banned, and the 2018 soundtrack to the punk puppet opera 38 Minutes. A Monkey Could Do That is their heaviest and most diverse record yet, and the tour brings those 22 new songs to the stage alongside the older songs they're known for.
