The Sofa Kings

A new home-grown band of boys from the 'hood whose musical influences include Wavy Gravy, Milli Vanilli, Barry White and Jack Black, the "Kings" are about to break free from their day jobs and hit the Road to Super Stardom - after they take out the trash. Join Peter Barrett, Barry Bisson, Pete Hale, Terry Lee and Toby Tyler in a musical melange of neo-classic rock 'n roll with a twist and original soulful, mind-bending tunes. Watch for their as-yet unrecorded first CD which may be called "Sofa King Cool". And hold on!
