The 100 Club is legendary for hosting legendary shows before anyone believed that they were legendary. The Sex Pistols, The Clash and The White Stripes are just a few names that appeared at London’s premier music venue before they went down in music history. The 5th August 2011 is another date to add to the impressive list as Kings and Rogues take to the 100 Club stage.
Kings and Rogues are the gathered remains of previous projects and it’s easy to see that the three-piece have used all their experience, style and talent to create a new masterpiece. Nick Drew (Vocals & Guitar), Gary Summers (Bass & Backing Vocals) and Wayne Summers (Drums) have an impressive command over their instruments and together have created something that rivals the likes of Biffy Clyro and Queens of the Stone Age.
For a relatively new band the aggression and energy that Kings and Rogues display is exceptional. They capture the crowd with intricate riffs and dominant drum tracks (which are particularly impressive). It may be impossible to not be stunned by the sheer skill of this band, which is a bold statement to make, but a fair one. A nostalgic grunge back bone brings this raw talent together and creates the sound that could fill a stadium very soon.
As they own this historic and legendary stage the word that comes to mind is beautiful. It’s passion and it’s anger and it’s very, very clever. Good things are coming for this band and it won’t be too long until every single person in The 100 Club crowd is bragging about being there on August 5th 2011. Nick, Gary and Wayne are genuinely lovely and hard working guys and they deserve every moment of success coming to them.
Keep your eye’s peeled for Kings and Rogues because their future looks pretty damn fantastic.
