‘I was There’, an irresistible anthem with a swamp–blues feel and a seductive see-saw guitar line, (taken from ‘Force 9’), has been edited and condensed into a punchy, radio-friendly 3 and a half minutes single in celebration of our Summer Of Sport. Sport is a burning thing and King Mob are all about sweat, energy and intense performance under pressure. ‘I Was There’ is a celebration of the life wave set to a driving beat and is already proving a powerful emotional soundtrack for the summer of Sport on key Sporting media outlets BBC Sport, SkySPORTS, ESPN and talkSPORT to name but a few, as well as on rotation at Olympic Stadia and sports venues nationwide.
King Mob, who draw on the ‘Spirit of ‘69’ – but not in a retrospective way – bring the raw power and spirit of that golden age of music into a contemporary setting to create thrilling, visceral, timeless rock’n’roll music.
King Mob, comprised of guitar legend Chris Spedding (Roxy Music, Elton John, John Cale, Paul McCartney), Martin Chambers – drums (Pretenders), Stephen W Parsons aka Snips – vocals (film composer and vocalist of cult 70’s band Sharks), hot new guitar talent Sixteen, plus new exciting young Japanese bass player Toshi Ogawa.
