The King of France (© B.C Kagan)French Revolution
The New York-based band The King of France have been drawing comparisons with The Kinks, Madness and the voice of Richard Hell - thanks to what the Village Voice describes as their "lovably resolute... intelligent, off-kilter pop songs." The band features songwriter and frontman Steve Salad and music journalist and memoirist Michael Azzerad on drums. They visit with us in advance of their performance tonight at the Bowery Ballroom and to talk about their latest, self-titled album. Also on the show: Toshi Reagon. The daughter of Sweet Honey in the Rock founder Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon, the singer-songwriter blends blues and gospel with Hendrix-esque hooks and catchy pop riffs. She joins us to perform live cuts from her latest CD, titled "Have You Heard."
