King Brothers

King Brothers [キング・ブラザーズ] is a rock band from Nishinomiya City in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Formed in 1997, the band made its major label debut on Toshiba EMI in 2001. The group was banned from performing at several venues in Osaka after destructive live shows.


King Brothers are “Super High Energy Jet Blues Band” from Nishinomiya city in Japan. Members are Keizo (Vo./Gt.), a resident of Nishinomiya city, Marya (Gt./ Scream) and Zony (Dr.) who rolls on a 26inch kick drum. The band was formed in 1998, all the original members are from their hometown Nishinomiya city and they still live and make music there.

Since their all time favourite band Guitar Wolf discovered them, their music career in the rock’n’roll scene has begun. In 1999, they released their debut album from American independent label Bulb Records and they have toured in America at the age of 20. They’ve been gigging a lot in Japan and they have played with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, White Stripes, Wilko Jonson, Andre Williams, Oblivians, The Mammys, Thee Oh Sees and so many to count.

Their shows are always energetic, loud and so much fun. They will not give you a moment to blink, such a brutal blues jet runs through your ears and their music makes you sweaty from pleasures.
