Spin The Circle: The King Rooster – Snake Bait
45 Live Records released a brand new 45' of The King Rooster and their Hammond Organ's killer tracks Snake Bait / Stickin’ it.
Here we have 2 hard-hitting organ screamers kicking off with Snake Bait on the A-side, a raucous 144bpm dancefloor burner. Scratchy guitar, thumping bass and manic drums underpin a swirling and ever-building Hammond Organ into a fire-y crescendo. Whilst over on the B Stickin’ it takes some cues from The Meters sound with its trance like organ riffs and bluesy flavour. It’s a raw mid-tempo head-nodder which, like the A-side, keeps building and building into such a cookin’ groove.
Listen to The King Rooster new 45 single Snake Bait / Stickin’ it:
Hailing from London, The King Rooster are a heavy funk quartet consisting of Ian Stevens on bass, Mark Claydon on drums (both from another heavy funk band - The Getup), Sam Montero on keys and James Forster on guitar.
