Episode 21: Should Have Been Huge - Katmandu

It's a new installment of "Should Have Been Huge," where we take a dive into a band that should have seen far more success than they did, and why they didn't.  Katmandu was a short-lived hard rock band built around Dave King, fresh off his stint with Fastway, and several years before he reinvented himself musically as the frontman of Flogging Molly. Their lone, self-titled album was released on Epic Records in 1991, filled with big, bluesy and melodic hard rock, with that powerful sound producers Duane Baron and John Purdell became known for. Katmandu had the songs, the musicianship, and a major label, but for a number of reasons, including timing, just never took off. Which is a shame, because this band and their self-titled debut album Should Have Been Huge!
