The Kingpins

Montreal, QC

THE OLD BIO USED TO READ: They planned the plan, then they put it into action... The Kingpins are a road-tested, consumer-approved quintet that rocks toward the future without denying its respectable past as a leading ska unit. A well-oiled five-piece party machine with Lorraine “The Queen of Ska” taking up vocal duties full-time will blow you away! Their "Plan of Action" CD is vital, solid and the best and most exciting thing the band had done to date. Not surprisingly, their 3rd album raced to the top of the Canadian college charts. Not only have the Kingpins come through shining, that shine will light the way to the most creative and engaging stretch of their career. And hey, everybody's welcome to hop on for the ride.
