'The Kings' Canada's Legendary Rock Band Are Back With A New Album!

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.The Kings, originally formed in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Oakville, Ontario, are a Canadian rock band formed in 1977.  They gained prominence with their 1980 hit song “This Beat Goes On/Switchin’ To Glide,” which resonated in both the United States and Canada. The original lineup was David Diamond (lead vocals, bass, songwriter), Sonny Keyes (vocals, keyboards, songwriter), Max Styles (currently Todd Reynolds) (drums), and Mister Zero (guitar, songwriter).The Kings toured extensively with artists like Bob Seger, Jeff Beck, The Beach Boys, and Eric Clapton. They appeared on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand and headlined the major Heatwave festival in August.Despite challenges in the late 1980s, The Kings experienced a revival when “This Beat Goes On” and “Switchin’ To Glide” became radio hits in Chicago once again and received substantial play. The band continued touring throughout Canada and the U.S. during the remainder of the decade.The Kings most recent album is entitled ‘The Longest Story Ever Told’ and now in 2024, The Kings, with their history of hits, over 2000 North American shows, and a devoted fan base, remain a hungry band with something to prove. "The Longest Story Ever Told" reaffirms their status as a rock band with songwriting depth. When asked, “Is there a theme for the album?", guitarist Mister Zero replied, “I don't think there is one other than trying to get 10 really good songs together”.PLEASE WELCOME Mister Zero, Dave Diamond, and Sonny Keyes of Canadian rock legends THE KINGS to Interviewing the Legends … PURCHASETHE KINGSLATEST ALBUMThe Longest Story Ever ToldAvailable at amazon.com FOR MORE INFORMATIONABOUTTHE KINGSVISIThttps://thekingsarehere.com/Official websitehttps://www.facebook.com/people/The-Kings-Are-Here/100063548021148/Facebookhttps://twitter.com/TheKingsRHereTwitterhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaNjWtQvNPEsieBFbde-fnAYouTubehttps://www.instagram.com/thekingsrhere/Instagramhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thekingsrhereTiktok THE KINGSDiscographyThe Kings Are Here album (Elektra, 1980) US #74Amazon Beach album (Elektra, 1981) US #170R.S.V.P [4-Song EP] (Dizzy, 1982)Party Live '85 live album (Dizzy, 1985)Parting Of The Ways single (1991)Unstoppable CD (Dizzy, 1993)Unstoppable [with "This Beat Goes On" and "Switchin' To Glide" added] CD (Griffin, 1995)The Kings Are Here..and More CD (Warner, 2000)The Kings Are Here/Amazon Beach (2 on 1 CD, Wounded Bird, 2003)Because Of You CD (2003)Anthology One CD (2006)The Longest Story Ever Told CD (Dizzy, 2023)  UPCOMING SHOWSApr. 27, 2024, Casio Rama Resort, Rama, OntarioGLASS TIGER With Special Guest THE KINGSSupport us on PayPal!
