Blues and Roots music with bite and a sense of humour. King Cake was formed in mid 2004 to help Mike record some original songs. The chemistry was so good that they decided to become an official band. Their repertorie consists of mostly Louisiana style Blues, classic Country and Western, Swamp Rock and catchy Originals with the odd Hendrix tune thrown in for good measure.
The King Cake Story as told by Frog Boy:
I started hanging out in rest stop bathrooms and met up with Joe while selling cigarette butts to desperate smokers. In 1979 this was not a good business to be in but, I was feeling kind of addled at that point in my life as I had been abducted by aliens and taken aboard a UFO for an unspecified amount of time during the previous October... Playing music together just seemed to be the logical thing to do.
At some point later on we met up with Turk when we found ourselves suddenly under a bridge on an abandoned stretch of railroad tracks. He claims to be an alien and I'm inclined to believe him, though not totally convinced....
The three of us walked a few miles and pretty soon we came to a refrigerator box city where we met up with Todd who had played with Dorsey back in the '40s. Joe, Turk and I pooled our 46 cents and were able to get a box for the night. It turns out that many of the people in this cardboard community had come from missing or crashed airline flights. Black helicopters would occaisionally drop supplies.... but that is another story.
