K$ EPK
‘PATIENCE EP’ OUT NOW
King Shelter kicked the project off in 2015 by playing local shows around Orange County for friends and local music fans after they self-released a DIY album that Taylor Hecocks produced and engineered. The name of their breakout project: “Failure” EP which was released independently in 2015. This project would prove to be their first real stamp on the Orange Country, CA music scene. King Shelter went from playing backyards before the release, to headlining the Constellation Room two months later, and eventually would move on to taking over the LA market - selling out The Echo. The band followed up their success with “Failure” EP by releasing a series of singles that were produced by Adam Castilla from the Colourist. The band followed up the singles with their micro-album, “$HAME”, making playlists such as ‘New Noise’ and the ‘The Scene’, selling out The Echo and being featured on Viceland’s ‘King of the Road’. Following their release of ‘Sellout EP’
Gimme Knowledge performed live, released May 8 to all DSP's.
