KING EFFERS (SHEFFIELD PUNKY REGGAE) - HEADLINERS
https://www.facebook.com/p/King-Effers-100063586809921/
In 2019, having got fed up with censorship and silly social media algorithms, Sheffield’s long standing politico-punks The F*kwits changed their name to King Effers, perhaps a little easier on the tongue.
Mr Keef and Chris (The F*kwits) were joined by Tank (Freekspert) on drums, and Muzz (Artery/Faerground Accidents) on bass. With a love of all things punk, reggae and rocksteady it was only a matter of time before the sound turned into a highly-charged punky reggae party.
Having toured the UK and Germany and negotiated the perils and pitfalls of the covid lockdowns, the band finally managed to procure enough studio time and complete the recordings of what would become the first King Effers album entitled ‘Soap Box’, to be released on Holy Dotage Records on Dec 1st 2023
Line up:
Mr Keef – Vocals & Guitar
Guitar Chris – Guitar & B-Vocals
Muzz – Bass & B-Vocals
Tank – Drums & Percussion.
