Kings Go Forth Set Debut was a top story for this week. Here it is again: On April 20 Luaka Bop will release the debut album by Kings Go Forth, the Milwaukee based soul band co-founded by Andy Noble, proprietor of the fabled Lotus Land record shop, and long time Milwaukee area R&B performer Black Wolf. Following a string of seven inches lauded by soul music blogs and spun by the likes of DJ Shadow, the new album features artwork by Mingering Mike - the first time the celebrated artist has ever created art for a recording that actually exists - and a mix by Tom Moulton, the legendary producer and originator of the remix and 12-inch single format. The band's music has been featured as the soundtrack to the popular Funny or Die clip "High Five Inauguration" (viewed hundreds of thousands of times), and Noble, along with his family of cultural instigators, was the subject of the documentary 'Super Noble Brothers,' eight years in the making.
The album features 10 original songs written by Noble and Wolf including the Moulton mix "Don't Take My Shadow" and features Andy Noble on bass, Dave Wake on keyboards, guitarist Dan Flynn, percussionist Cecilio Negron, Jr., the explosive drummer Jeremy Kuzniar, Trombonist Dave Cusma and trumpeter Jed Groser. - more on this story
