Brief Band History:

Their landmark gig was when the band were banned on arrival at The Bodegas Bar in Barnsley because the Management took offence to the advertising of 'FREE SEX AND DRUGS' - another Barnsley Bar - the Tut & Shive agreed to let KP play that night and this proved to be a brilliant gig.

On March 15th 2001, King Palooka played for the first time in almost 10 months with their brand new line up. They played an incredible set at The Fealty & Firkin' in Barnsley, and sold 'a good few' copies of the debut CD 'The Wellington Street EP' which is available now. World domination here we come!

Influences:

The Pixies, P.J.Harvey, The Smiths, The Clash, Joy Division, The Jam & Robert Johnson.
