What started almost 10 years ago at the Belgium Rhythm and Blues Festival (BRBF) in Peer, starts again with that same festival. Let us refresh your memories: some 10 years ago, 5 guys from different bands in Belgium decided it was time to have some fun and play the music they all loved: authentic, vintage blues with soul and without frills. The band was named "The Electric Kings" and took off almost immediately. Only 6 months after foundation the ‘Kings’ were booked at the prestiguous Belgium Rhythm ’n Blues Festival. The first album "Not For Sale" (recorded in two days!) got rave reviews and the gig at the festival blew everybody away. From then on the band was booked throughout Europe and was considered as one of the finest European blues- en roots groups. "Electronic" was the highly anticipated follow-up album and –again- proved that the typical "no nonsense" vintage blues and cool selfwritten material appealed to a very large crowd. On presentation day the band invited special guests like Johnny Dyer, Mark Hummel and Al Copley to sit in. The "Electronic" album sold 800 copies that same day in under two hours. Funky! After a long period of extensive touring and playing everybody wanted to do different things and the band broke up at the end of 1997. Marc T. started his own band ‘Tee’ and wowed crowds throughout Europe, Big Dave got going with his own "Big Dave" thang and Luke Alexender joined Last Call for some experimental roots stuff. RC Stock got classical (!) and played cello with the National Turkish philarmonic while Willy Maze became really busy as a session player and teacher. And then the folks at the same Belgium Rhythm ’n Blues festival called… The Electric Kings were asked to do an exclusive reunion show at BRBF. We decided to go for it and record the whole thing. You can imagine what happened next. The gig turned out to be a huge party and the whole thing felt…right again. So there you have it. The Electric Kings are back with a new album (Live @ BRBF 2005), the original line-up and a tour which will take the band all over the globe. Expect fresh new sounds, groovy rhythms and some soulfull tunes from a bunch of guys with just one passion: good, honest music. Ladies and gentlemen, The Electric Kings are back!
