King (24)

Short-lived pop band founded by The Damned's Captain Sensible during the summer of 1978. They played just 5 gigs at Gibus Club in Paris (late June 1978) and recorded one John Peel session for the BBC (transmitted 20 July 1978). A 10 date tour of Ireland, to be followed by four nights at Hurrah's in New York and a UK tour in September 1978 (as announced in Melody Maker 29 July 1978) didn't happen as the band broke up again and Captain Sensible returned to The Damned.
