I really loved Kingmaker. Listening to it again they were very, very good. Fantastic that they were beautiful then disappeared without cashing in. Viva Rock and Roll..
definitely a good band but I remember seeing an interview with them back in the day and they made Oasis look modest. I don't think people responeded to their claims of being the best band in the UK.
@rhymon78 I was there too!! That place had such a low ceiling!! I remember Thom spent the whole night breaking guitar strings! Great gig though - it was loud :)
@stugriggs yeah man, awesome gig. Im not a fan of radiohead these days, but remember them being AMAZING that night. so intense. those were the days...
I might be wrong here but i remember seeing Kingmaker at the venue in Edinburgh and i swear Radiohead were the support........feel free to ridicule now.....
@ballboyer radiohead were the support when i saw them in london too, and i thought that radiohead were poo and wouldnt go anywhere! haha! good job i dont work in the record business eh!?!
agreed with mjd775! I'm hearing this after nearly 20 years and I almost jumped of my chair just like when I heard the kingmaker for the first time - they sound so good!!
...great band as were so many others in the 90s!! We were fuckin spoilt for choice with good quality bands then, but now? I feel sorry for the kids with total dull boring shit like snow patrol, keane, scouting for girls, coldplay, all total fucking dull meaningless shite!! I went to see oasis last week, not even close to 1 shiver down the spine!! I remember bands that sent goosebumps and shivers down the back of my neck back then!!
Christine and the little reprise at the end is one of THE all time greatest bits of music EVA.
If its available - please upload it!
'thing is though' it's a public service man - Thanks for that.
Watch out for Bandit BriJon and his tropical frogs - fUKIN HEAVY in London in the mid 90's.
Shame 'spence - mccartney' thought he was the bollox at writing songs. Ride the swan and all that crap LOL. Kingmaker were the dogs bollox at writing songs...
yeah!... Amazing to hear this again. "Eat Yourself Whole" evokes a lot of teenage stuff for me. But this still sounds really electrifying... Never understood why this band was so derided - the lyrics were a bit odd, but great i thought
"Hard Times," "Freewheeling" and "Lady Shakespeare's Bomb" are probably the best three songs off that album. I have a vid from this period, and that's also quite good. Gonna have to figure out how to upload to You Tube!
Would Really love to see a vid for Freewheeling that was my fave makes my hair stand on end! I felt 16 again when I heard this one tho! Aw wow! thanks for putting this up.

Saw them in 95 just weeks before they called it a day - one of the best gigs i've ever witnessed. Vastly underrated band.......

What a great band they were back then, still sounds great to hear this 17 years on.
Agree with the comment about Christine / Reprise one of my all time favourites too.
Loz Hardy was a real songwriting talent
