21 MAY ~ NZ ARTIST OF THE DAY: KING LOSER
Posted on May 21, 2014 by Irene Hundleby
21 MAY ~ NZ ARTIST OF THE DAY
KING LOSER
CAUL OF THE OUTLAW
"King Loser put the scuzz in scuzz-rock. Like some kind of evil take on Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood [sic], the domineering front of Chris Heazlewood and Celia Mancini (nee patel/pavlova) trade off vocal barbs (him – rugged and biting, her – sultry and fork-tongued) over a bed of surf-guitar, jungle-grooves or just good-old american lo-fi hiss-rock."

King Loser's music has been described as surf rock instrumental, psychedelic rock and noise... this Flying Nun band came together in the early 90s however their connections as individual musicians to so many other bands is rather interesting... and I am sure there are many stories out there!
Want to check out some more of their history? Here is a nice little summary...

And here's a little of them in person - an early interview and sounds from the 90s...
