KING at Sayers Club





This is KING, a very interesting girl trio that has caught the attention of ?uestlove and Prince, among others.  I shot them last night at the Sayers Club in Hollywood, which is a kind of supperclub-type venue where the old Nacional used to be.  Yeah, that Nacional, the one that hosted the Monday Social.  The place is much more upscale now, and they knocked a wall down to make the space bigger.  Yet another example of how very little in Hollywood remains the same over time...

Anyway, KING.  These girls put out a video on YouTube in 2011 for one of their songs, which ended up going viral in the music community.  To make a very long story short, Prince ended up really liking them, and had them open up for him during one of his 21 residency nights at the Forum.  Now he's got one of his people managing them.  They have a very sultry blend of soul and jazz, very catchy but not pop in the least.  These three could be going somewhere...time will tell, I guess.

Currently waiting to see if I'm cleared to shoot the Goo Goo Dolls tonight at the Troubadour.  Also let Getty know that I'm very hard up to shoot the Stones when they come through in May..  Needless to say, if I get Mick & Keith I'm gonna be a very happy guy.  Stay tuned.
