KING AUTOMATIC BIO
Bio in English
Bio en Français
Sometime in 2003, at an undisclosed location several deranged genetic
engineers performed a dangerous and unholy experiment.
The task at had was to merge the DNA of Howlin' Wolf, The Oblivians,
and DEVO.
The Frankenstein-esque result was to revolutionize the stagnant and
monotonous international One-Man Band scene and deliver organ fused
electro sounds to Underground Rock'n'Roll.
The demented result of said experiment is KING AUTOMATIC, an
amalgamation of wild fuzzed out guitar, in the red harp mayhem and
an incredibly raw yet melodic 60's Farfisa organ that gets the
ladies dancing. You ain't convinced yet ... hell watch the KING
perform live, sitting behind his organ, guitar strapped 'round
his torso, sampling and looping his wild organ and blues harp sounds
live on stage. We're not talking pre-recorded gimmicks ...
everything's happening live on stage ... you figure out how he does it,
adding layer upon layer of farfisa and harp sounds, eventually
climaxing in a complex yet primal sonic soundscape.
You think you've seen it all?
Check out KING AUTOMATIC and he'll prove you wrong.

Le bonhomme est tout seul qui tchaque, boume, gratte, piane, braille,
et frime tout de go, calé sur son tabouret, cousin dégénéré de tous
les Hasil Adkins et les Bob Log de la terre et de l'enfer.
On trouve dans ses oeuvrettes étranges du Kraftwerk massacré par un
combo rockabilly foireux, du Cramps post-électronique, les Gories en
partouze avec les Oblivians.
King Automatic, par ailleurs batteur des cinglés Thundercrack,
(2 albums sur ESTRUS, 7" ROYAL rds) signe donc en solo le retour du
crétinisme originel et sublime du rock'n'roll, sa sauvagerie nonchalante,
sa désinvolture bringuebalante... A danser le fusil chargé, cela va sans dire.
