comments: I am totally blown away. I was at the Double Door show, and had my CD signed. Adam would remember me as the one who doesn't blow smoke up people's asses. So prepare yourself for a slew of honest compliments and sincere praise. First of all, with most bands, even great ones, there is usually a level of mediocrity to contend with. Be it a general malaise, or weakness in just one member. Not so with this band. There is such tautness and strength in the unit as a whole. I can only hope that your relationships are similar. It is a distinct benefit to have two incredible voices onstage. Either voice with the ability to carry a whole band on it's own. Oliver is an incredible Guitar player, the bass is always thick, deep, organic, and driving on time. You've got one hell of a horn section, and Marcus always seems to be having a great time. And perhaps I'm biased, and I know I,m critical, but there are not very many great drummers out there, nor percussionists to speak of... so you must all be beside yourselves at having acquired such talent. The material itself is deep, diverse, real, and adventurous. And of course funky, and sexy. I will refrain from picking out individual songs and gushing. Let it suffice to say there are some songs which promote an outward flow of energy, and others which are directed inward...both of which are great. Quite a lot of dance tunes, and dancing is one of my favorite things in life. And I must admit (okay, one mention) time stands still gives me pressure in my chest. Oh, I was to remind you to get a gig at Senate Park 803.254.3302 We will also call and suggest they visit www.kingjohnson.com. It is my intention to make it to the December 14 show in Atlanta with friends in tow. SEE YOU THERE. HEY, YEAH !!!!

comments: Hiya, Lil Bro!
We (Dave and Me) have a question.
Well, actually, we have TWO questions.
#1: The new CD is fabulous, of course. Does the band make more money if we buy direct?
#2: If we buy, say, like 20 CDs to give to all our friends for Christmas and you end up selling over 5,000 CDs, we don't actually have to SEE "Hot Fish Laundrymat" tattooed on yer butt, right?
'cuz I dunno if I could stand that *grin
'course, if it was Marcus' butt, I could probably live with it..

comments: Hi
I got a chance to hear your CD and it is awsome. I am the Building Manager where Marcus James & Oliver Wood lives. I had no ideal that they had all this talent. Keep up the good work.

comments: Boys, caught your show at Northside Tavern a couple weeks ago. It was one of those inspired stops while going home with a buzz but not wanting to go home. By the end of the night, I had a solid buzz and two CD's. Usually, I end up looking at the CD's a few days later thinking, "what the hell happened here?". Needless to say, but I'll say it anyway, y'all got it going on. I'm the latest evangilist on the block and looking forward to your stop in sept.!

comments: WoooHooo... what a show in Tallahassee!!! It was great seeing you guys again. The new tunes are just plain damn good; just proves that it's tough to miss with good material. Good God, please hurry up and release the new CD, cause North Florida now has the King Johnson fever. The title of the CD should be "ATLAS"!!! See you next time...

Hey guys !

I been hearing your cds for a few years now, and just got
the chance to see you all the way live for the first time
last night at the Northside.

Thanks SO much. I just moved here from New Orleans a couple
months ago, and have been sooooooo homesick. Y'all da cure.

Big fun, big sound and a big time :)
