A Palace in the Sky

Formed in 2012, Palace of the King have shared the stage with the likes of The Tea Party and Airbourne, while racking up shows in every corner of Australia. To put it simply, the band is not used to being away from the road. So when they are, you know it must be for a good reason. And you will find few better reasons than an album. Steeped in bluesy swagger and riff-heavy psychedelia, this rocking and roll band is set to release their debut album next month. It’s called White Bird/Burn the Sky and it follows on from a couple of EPS and a full-length vinyl release. From the presser: “On June 19, 2015, it’s time for the White Bird to take flight. From three minute funk-infused rockers through to seven minute Sabbath-esque crushers, Palace Of The King has seized the opportunity to explore every intricate corner of their influences and craft a debut album that captures a band at a point where ‘scratching the surface’ isn’t nearly enough. White Bird/Burn The Sky tears apart the 100-year history of the blues, adds a distinctly modern edge and smothers a ‘no holds barred’ attitude across 44 minutes worth of riff-a-minute, hook-laden rock and roll.” Beav’s Bar, Geelong – May 24 & The Loft, Warrnambool – June 7.
