BLUE KING BROWN

Hailed by Santana as “The voice of the street and the band of the future!" The 8 to 11 piece powerhouse band that is BLUE KING BROWN bring their cross generational grooves and socially conscious sound.

The infectious energy and passion from lead singer, guitarist and percussionist Natalie Pa'apa'a is a driving musical force that has led BKB through an impressive touring history playing major festivals and venues in Australia through to USA, CANADA, JAPAN and EUROPE. BKB continue to deliver their now world renowned power packed live show featuring their home-grown, universally spoken language, delivered as hard hitting Urban Roots music..
They have also shared the global stage opening for National and International greats such as Santana, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Damien ‘Jr gong’ Marley, The John Butler Trio, The Cat Empire, Silverchair, Powderfinger to name a few.

With recent recording trips to Kingston Jamaica and New York now under their belt, once again pushing genre boundaries, their latest releases are a testament to the rise of Blue King Brown - one of Australia’s greatest acts.

"Blue King Brown is my favourite band right now. They embody everything I love in music from Ozomatli, African bands, Tower of Power to Santana. They are the voice of the street and the band of the future!" - Carlos Santana

"I am always inspired by BKB's funky, high energy, socially conscious music. Natalie is a bright light in the world with a vision that extends beyond the stage and together with the rest of the band raise the roof off every show they play. I love em!!!" - Michael Franti (Spearhead)

What Blue King Brown says about the Album:

Late 07 early 08 we locked ourselves away in a rehearsal room and crafted songs that would become part of the body of work we are releasing today. April 08 we dive into the most full on recording session we have ever done, over a couple of weeks we poured our souls to tape, were joined by some of the finest musicians, string players, horn players, percussionists, beat masters, programmers, engineers, assistants, studio owners, friends & family, we laid down a large amount of sound!

We then embarked on a plan that would shift change and evolve, and we just hung on the best we could. We find ourselves in Jamaica surrounded by some amazing people, legends of our time in fact. In this moment we threw away our release plans and focused on creating a record that would be released when its ready. From there we travelled to many corners of the world and honed a sound that reflects who we are. where we come from, and where we want to go.

2 years of blood, sweat, tears, re recording, ditching tracks, writing new ones, experimentation, joy, love, hate, amazement, confusion, bliss, sleepless months days & years, devastation & realisation and we find our selves with a record we are very proud to have created and ready to release to the world.

We have completed a mission that we set out to achieve, and we thank you for your support, motivation & inspiration whether you work directly on our team, distributed our records, sold our records in your store, booked us on your festival, event, or in your venue, slaved with us over the mixing desk, laid down amazing parts on our songs, booked our gigs, promoted our band, sorted our logistics, plugged our music, placed stories, played our music on your station, come to a show, rocked out in the front row, chilled & listened up in the back row, done our live sound, our lights, sold us instruments, given us instruments, taken us on tour, toured with us, played in our band, guested in our band on stage or in the studio, built our websites, taken our photos, created a music video, volunteered your time and / or your artform for us & with us, slaved tirelessly to support the band, slaved tirelessly to support an honourable cause, worked with us in our activism efforts, fought the good fight, raised your fists, stood for what you believed in, accepted our donations, given us donations, wrote us an email, posted a message on our online social profiles, put us down, questioned our ethics, lifted us up, praised our morals, have had us teach at your community, your school, put up with our studio or rehearsal noise! given us a bed, given us a couch, a floor or even your whole house, shared a beverage, given us a meal, given us a helping hand, funded our projects, managed our mission, shared your knowledge, wisdom, expertise or time, been a loving family or been a great friend – you are part of who we have become and we thank you all very much.

Today we deliver our second album “WORLDWIZE Part 1 North & South”.

A double disk record that we hope makes it your way, makes you think, makes you smile, makes you dance, chill, act, react, evokes an idea, an emotion, any form of expression or inspiration.
