Event Details

Noted as one of the countries most exciting up and comers, Melbourne based King Of The North are a two-piece rock powerhouse like no other. The duo delivers a jaw-dropping live show with a sound many regard as a new frontier for the guitar/ drums rock format. Supported by Tonk Hence The Testbed.

"KOTN redefine what a kick ass two-piece can do, they're world class." -Australian Guitar magazine

Their debut album released in March 2014 has been named "Album Of The Week" on Triple M (nationally) and has since been played on 100 radio stations across Australia. The single 'Wanted' is the feature song on the new BMW 2 series ad on TV right now.

"Great from start to finish and such a densely layered sound, it's hard to believe it's just two people." - Classic Rock Mag (UK).
"No prisoners taken riff-a-rama, this album is tough!" John Scott (The Mark Of Cain).
"An incredibly hard act to follow" - John Garcia (Kyuss, Unida)

Since landing on the Melbourne scene in January 2012, it hasn't taken long for rock fans to catch on to King Of The North. The duo delivers a powerful and engaging live show with a sound many regard as a new frontier for the guitar/ drums rock format. The "3 from 1 guitar technique" is the cause of this new frontier. The idea was pioneered by Andrew Higgs and has since earned Higgsy a listing in the 100th issue of Australian Guitar magazine's "25 future legends of the guitar". Drummer Danny Leo was a Paiste feature artist at 2013's Ultimate Drummers Weekend.

KOTN released their debut album 'Sound The Underground' on March 14th with a 33 date Australian tour to launch it. The debut has been marked "Album Of The Week" by Triple M nationally and receiving rave reviews across the country. The first single 'Wanted' has been added to the rotation on Triple M's national evening show called "New Rock At Night" and has been hand picked by BMW for the launch of their 2 series, which began airing in March.
