King Washington

"We're trying to bring back what never should have left."
Saturated in complex harmonies and intelligent chord progressions alike, the music of King Washington is a throwback to when rock n' roll was a songwriter's game. The Los Angeles-based band, heavily endowed with musicality, is promptly seizing opportunities and capturing the attention of music lovers at a startling rate.
The band, comprised of rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist Tyson Kelly, lead guitarist George Krikes, bassist Dylan Cronin and drummer Kyle Turek, are all seasoned musicians and vocalists. "We like to sing," says Tyson. "Seldom do you come across a rock n' roll act willing to make themselves as vulnerable as the three-part harmony." KW prides themselves not only in their ability to rock the shingles off the roof, but to make it beautiful in the process.
A renaissance of musical flavors, KW's influences range from classic acts like the Talking Heads, John Lennon, The Beach Boys, David Bowie and Cat Stevens to contemporary talents Radiohead, REM, and The Negro Problem.
King Washington was started in 2005 by singer and songwriter Tyson Kelly during a simple ruminative conversation with then member and co-founder Aaron Weisbuch. Simply stated, they wondered what would have happened had George Washington accepted his bid to be "King of America." At the time the name was simply the result of a random contemplative discussion, but three years and many members later it also carries the irony and symbolism of the band's British influences.
The bottom line is, King Washington will begin your reclamation of faith in today's music. They will make you believe in the integrity and virtue of the pop musician again. They will slap your face, tickle your nose, and leave you with a peppermint mocha and a fleece blanket in front of the fireplace by nights end. They are different and they are strangely familiar. Ill tell you later.
