King No-one

close2u

This is about my wife's nephew, Joe, and the band King No-one.

He is 18 years old, has been playing in the band in the York & Leeds area for some time. They do a lot of busking in York and they've been playing around the local circuit. They recently won a regional battle of the bands competition at Leeds O2 and the prize was to play at the Leeds & Reading Festivals on the BBC Introducing stages.

Update on my wife's nephew who plays in the band King No-One.   They have a new EP out and are playing a release gig on 25 April at Fibbers in York.  This is their new video release for EP title track Millennium.  They are also going to be supporting Embrace on a few of their dates later this year.

Quite a strong Smiths vibe going on there. Even the singer has a hint of the self proclaimed god/man Morrissey

King No-one are playing at York Fibbers Friday 28 April to realease their 2nd EP called Millennium. Here is another track from the EP.

I like it... Looks like Edwyn Collins which I'm sure is not by mistake.

Got a sorta White Lies / Fran Ferdinand vibe to it. I can see them going down well with the Embrace fans.

Update:

They played support at Liverpool and Leeds for Embrace this last week.
They did so well that Embrace have asked them to do the support slot at Glasgow and London Shepherd's Bush also.

They have just won a major international competition for unsigned artists

More moves in the right direction ...

Tom Robinson played the new song on Radio 6 Introducing a few weeks back.

Dermot O'Leary played it on Radio 2 this week.

Great to hear of their continued success. The last track linked shows a much bigger and maturer sound.

I heard it on r2 and I thought it was great

Thanks for all the good vibes. I'll pass them on. Here is another update. New songs from the lads ... Philosophical And an intimate live performance of that song in London [youtube] and Constellations with video: They have a few new songs in the pipeline with, potentially, a big name producer interested. This is their website http://www.kingno-one.com/#!home/mainPage

And here is new song Stay Close. Produced by Steve Harris - who has worked with Kaiser Chiefs, Santana, U2 & more.

@Iamnobody ;
Thanks for the feedback, good vibes, positive comment.
Much appreciated.
They have a full-time agent / manager now and have had some great help in the studio etc.
Still awaiting 'the big break'.
Fingers crossed.
They're regular buskers in the northern towns and usually post on their facebook page what / when / where etc.

They're still busy - busking by day, gigging by night.
Get along to see them on their upcoming Spring tour if you can:
