Album Notes

Kings Without was formed in 2006 when Todd Dunsmore and Neil Atkinson were introduced through a mutual friend. Neil and his brother Dean had plans to start a band on the west coast for years. Together with Todd a unique vocal trio emerged. After a year of trio gigs the band was eager to step it up and recruited drummer Andrew Rollins from Nanaimo University's Jazz program. Recently long time New York/Toronto music veteran Funky D, formerly of The James Brown Band, has joined with the group on bass guitar. This past year Kings Without has released their debut self titled CD, which they followed by a 2 month long tour, consisting of 42 shows, stretching from Vancouver Island to Montreal and back. Their goals for this year include more touring in Western Canada, a second album, and a major tour in India-arranged by executive producer Navneet Dhillon. Having played over 400 shows together, Kings Without are now getting busier than ever with shows all over Vancouver Island and abroad. Without a doubt, "Kings Without" will soon be heard!
