History
The King Blues began as a two man ska outfit, consisting of Jonny 'Itch' Fox on vocals and ukulele and Jamie Jazz on acoustic guitar and additional vocals. The band later expanded to include a second acoustic guitarist and bassist, before again expanding to include two full-time percussion members. Their sound was initially described as "soulful ska with raw folk and a punk rock attitude". or "conscious rude boy ska"
In 2004, they self-released a demo EP titled "All Fall Down" featuring 5 tracks recorded by Itch on guitar and vocals. The cover and CD body art was a stencil of a fuse bomb and the band's logo; each one was hand sprayed.
