Kings & Queens

Kings & Queens is a four-piece project from Nevada City, California. The Sierra Nevada forest and the hot skies of the Mojave yielded a new song book for singer, guitarist and closet Englishman Rich Good, after the demise of his first California band "the Pleased" (with Noah Georgeson and Joanna Newsom). The music trips down the mountains to the scrubby desert, landscape affecting sound. Kings & Queens is darkly psychedelic dream-pop (sparkling with tints of Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac, Neu!, Roxy Music and Nick Drake); a layer cake of delayed guitars and analog organs twist and grind while harmony vocals float above a relentless rhythm section. These songs will see you warmed and alarmed. It gets under your skin.



The current Kings & Queens lineup consists of Rich and Andrea Good, David Torch, and Art Echternacht.



Story so far: In 2006 the first Kings & Queens EP was self-released closely followed by the LP 'The Dream Ends in Fury'. The band also contributed a live track to the Grass Roots Record Co. 'Family Album'. 2007 yielded another set of songs that formed the second EP including the epic 'Celebrate' and 'Like a Warning' that were quickly snapped up by RCRD_LBL, and the fuzzy dance of 'Olbers' Paradox' which found its way on into a british art experiment. In 2008 their sounds featured on A&E television and some BMX stuff and work began on a new set of songs that are currently being recorded at Orderly Manor. In november 2009 a new record was completed.
