Episode 104: dUg Pinnick of King’s X - Out of the Silent Planet

They may not be a household name, but if you're a rocker, many of your favorite bands know King's X. The band has been recording and performing for decades and in this episode, we're celebrating where it all started. I'm joined by bassist/vocalist dUg Pinnick to discuss the debut album by King's X, Out of the Silent Planet. The album turned 35 years old on March 28 and it's time to reflect on such a fantastic bland of rock, metal, funk, soul, gospel, and power pop that radio stations and the record company had no idea what to do with the band. I had a great time catching up with dUg and discussing the making of this record, his background, and more.
