Sometimes, you just need a good rock and roll show to clear out the cobwebs and Kingsley Flood are ready to do just that. Their latest release "Battles" and their ripping live show are earning praise everywhere they go. They played a mellow afternoon show for us some time ago that was a clear indication of the talent ready to bust out.

<strong>Tickets are $15 Advance // $20 Day of Show // $10 with valid Student ID</strong>

<blockquote>. . .no Boston band has the momentum of Kingsley Flood. The proof was on stage and in the crowd. 

The band has mostly left its honky tonk roots in the past, but they lit the barn ablaze with a dirty “Roll of the Dice” (bells? wow). The percussion break -- and then the trumpet payoff -- on “King’s Men” made the crowd ecstatic. But it was “I Don’t Wanna Go Home” that elevated the set to a new level. 

Bringing on half a dozen members of Beverly High marching band, Kingsley Flood showed hundreds who had never seen the band -- for many, last night’s show was an introduction -- that it's ready for a national stage. 

Plenty of other highlights: mellow moments of great tenderness like “Waiting on the River To Rise,” a crushing version of the Stones’ "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker),” and audience participation on the drum kit for “Mannequin Man.” 

See you at Newport Folk. I’m sure it’ll be sunny and 76 degrees. Kingsley Flood will make it so.  </blockquote>

<blockquote>Yet even within the torrent of energy Kingsley Flood puts out live, the band distinguishes itself with richly textured songs. Jenée Morgan and Chris Barrett are multi-instrumentalists who open up all sorts of sonic pathways for Khuri's musings. Drummer Travis Richter was more prominent in the live set compared to the record, giving Khuri the mad rhythms that kept the front man dancing through the show. Guitarist George Hall and bassist Nick Balkin likewise break from convention, providing as much atmospheric shading as support in the melody and rhythm departments.

The lengthy show was well paced, starting with more introspective songs such as "Habit" and "Wonderland." Then the band moved into big, anthemic rockers such as "Pick Your Battles" and "Cul de Sac."

Kingsley Flood swerved into a scrappy punk portion of the show with "Career Opportunities" and its own "Strongman." After the garage-noir of "Down," out came the marching band...really. Five members of the Beverly High School marching band augmented "King's Men" and "I Don't Wanna Go Home."

Amid the energy and frolic, there was no losing sight of just how sturdy the songs were; whether hearing the effervescent "Sun Gonna Lemme Shine" or rustic "Waiting on the River to Rise," it was easy to understand why Kinsley Flood's profile is rising above its Boston base.</blockquote>
