The A-Kings

3-piece ska band from New York City. Members were Sid Reitzfeld on bass, Andy Atlas on guitar and Anthony Johnson (who later played in 24-7 Spyz) on drums. The A-Kings fused reggae, ska and funk as evidenced by Reitzfeld's slap technique on '7259' featured on the 'NY Beat' compilation. Sadly, the recorded output of the band was limited to one demo tape they sold at shows Sid Reitzfeld later formed Thick As Thieves with members of different New York ska/reggae bands including The Boilers, The Second Step and The Toasters.
