Santiago Kings

"Santiago Kings have a rare sound that fits somewhere between baggy and blues rock. Their hypnotic pulse will blow you away" - Matt Hume (Fourth City)

"...an eclectic collection of grooves, blues, grunge and straight up rockers that manages to pay homage to the classics whilst successfully avoiding the imitation trap"- After the Boardwalk

Santiago Kings are a Sheffield based 5 piece that have an eclectic sound, with influences ranging from classic rock to metal, from bluegrass to folk, from prog to grunge.

In the last year alone, we have released a 6-track EP, a debut 10-track album, as well as recorded three live videos with Sheffield's own Steel City Sessions.

The recent album 'En La Boca Del Lobo' was recorded entirely by ourselves without booking any studio time and, while it ran extremely close to the launch date, through blood, sweat and tears we all pulled together to produce something we are very proud of and which has been well received by our fanbase. To release the album, we organised a ticketed gig that sold out in 6 days.

With the album we had a limited run of exclusive physical copies printed for those in attendance at the launch party with a view of releasing the album digitally in the near future. We have also started to print our own t-shirts and believe that the DIY approach to the merchandise allows us to really connect to our fans.

We have been playing Sheffield a fair amount over the last few years, but we've also ventured beyond to Doncaster, Rotherham, Northampton, Hull and Manchester. At the moment we're scaling back the amount of gigs in Sheffield to attract bigger audiences to the bigger venues. We're also booking in other locations (Leeds, Nottingham, Leicester etc) to spread our music to a wider audience.

We are an ambitious band, passionate about the music we are making, and looking to spread it as wide as we can. We also love playing live and would be looking to organise support slots with larger bands to build a wider following. Festivals are also something that we are looking at stepping up to this coming summer and we have already started to approach some local organisers in the south Yorkshire area.
