May, 1st 2008 : GTA and Us!
Hey kids,
Remember that song we wrote like four years ago called lilac? It was about being in bands that didn’t work out…trying cigs for the first time…wondering why girls seemed like they were a different species all together…porn (gasp) and…the video game GTA Some of you may not remember or know the song at all but it’s kinda funny because the new GTA game has come out and you can add our song (along with a bunch of others) to the game via an MP3 radio station an awesome guy named Evan has created. How cool is that?!?! As you drive around Liberty City doing whatever it is you choose to do, you can tune into the station you downloaded and listen to Bear In The Attic whenever you want!!! Thanks go out to Evan and thisisnotalabel.com for asking us to be a part of this! Go to to check it out and download it for yourself at http://www.thisisnotalabel.com/An-Indie-Radio-Station-for-GTAIV. php

April, 21st 2008 : Shows and Tics and Spring!
Hey Kids,
Spring is here and we're plugging away! Two sweet shows coming up this week/weekend- the first is at Millersville (at the club Deville) along with some awesome bands…Koji on The Roof, Safari So Good and Farewell Flight! The show is FREE and we'll be playing last- so bring your friends! On the weekend (Saturday the 26th) we head back to the Chameleon club! We're pumped to be opening for our friends Negative Space! They are releasing their new album so it should be a crazy night. We have a tic meet up for borders in York this Wednesday night. Tickets are just 8 bucks if you buy them from us.
Hopefully we'll see you out!
Love,
~us

March, 13th 2008 : Shows, shows and more shows!
Hey Kids,
We’re looking forward to a sweet weekend of shows starting with York’s newest Venue Smalls! We’re headlining so bring your friends and come party with us! (The show is 21 plus). Then Saturday we head to Brooklyn for two shows with the lovely Dana Alexandra- Saturday night we’ll be at the Spike Hill Pub and Sunday night we’ll be at the Luna Lounge. So, get a hold of your mom’s mini van and go on a road trip!!! If you can make it to NYC this weekend and you have some friends up that way tell them to come check us out! We’ll be back in town Monday for a tic meet up at borders in york (we’ll also be there on Tuesday) SO, if The Club 19, The chameleon, Or the Valencia look like fun to you drop out either of those nights for tickets (we’re doing a deal with tics…if you buy tics for club 19 AND the Chameleon it’s just 12$$ for BOTH shows!!!)
So we hope you see you all soon! Message us on myspace if you plan on meeting us for tickets!
Love,
~kingsfoil

March, 3rd 2008 : we're back in march!
What’s up kids!?
Did you hear the chameleon has a sweet new makeover? We’re pumped to be headlining at the newly reopened and remodeled club on the 28th of March…on top of that we’ve got two swell shows in York on the 22nd (Club 19 with The Tamboureens) and the 29th (The Valencia with Torn From Red) . So for those of you who have been whining about us playing more York shows…we’ve listened! Now hopefully you kids will get yourselves out to all THREE! If you think you can make it to the chameleon and to the Club 19 show we’ve got a sweet deal for you! You can get tics for BOTH shows for just 12$! That’s a $3 savings off of what they would cost if you bought them separately. (over 6$ off the door price) yup…pretty sweet ah? We would be happy to get them to you whenever we can work something out – we do have two options this week, Thursday or Friday evening in York. Just let us know if either of those work and we can get you the details. Thanks!
steve
March, 1st 2008 : Thanks for voting! See you at a show?
Thanks to everyone who voted for us on the bandwagononline survey!! We won!! Because of your support, we will be featured in the first issue of the online magazine. We're pretty excited about that!
Also, we have a ton of good shows coming up in March - please take a look at our sites and pick the one that works best for you. Of course, if you want to pick them all, that's a prefectly good option too!!!
We have tickets for the Club 19 show, for the Valencia show and for the Chameleon show - so let us know if you need some for any of those and we'd be happy to hook you up.
We are so grateful and thankful for all of our wonderful fans and friends - without you, Kingsfoil wouldn't be nearly as cool as it is!!!!

February, 13th 2008 : Hi Ya!!
Hey Kids and Grownups -
We thought we would up-date you a bit on the life of kingsfoil. We haven’t blogged in a while because nothing overly amazing has happened to the band or any of us. (Tristan did shave his upper lip a couple weeks ago.) Jordan was randomly looking though old photo albums and in-between photos of him dressed up like a girl (that’s what happens when you have an older sister) he found one of Tristan and himself when they were both really little. It made him realize just how long they’ve known each other. (If you haven’t seen it yet-check MySpace.) As you might have noticed we’ve started putting up a bunch of new shows where we hope to try some new songs out that we’ve been working on over the past couple of months. We miss all of you and hope that to see you all soon!
Our next show is at The Radisson in Camp Hill, PA as part of the Millenium Music Conference (MMC12). It’s an amazing opportunity for us, and we would love to see you come out – it’s all ages and open to the public (there will be a cover – we THINK $8). Having a good Kingsfoil crowd would make us look good to all the attendees and industry types who should be there, so come on out and show your support for your local band. Thanks, you are the best!!!
steve
January, 17th 2008 : Hello Winter!
Hey Everybody,
Jordan here! How’s the winter going for you all? Has anyone gone sledding yet this year? I got to go sledding already and it looks like I might have another chance soon around here at least! Also, I do love long underwear but with that being said I think it I’m ready for spring. We have a heater in our practice space but it doesn’t get the room warm until the end of the night (when we’re done) so that means we keep our coats on :) However- it’s better than the barn we used to practice in.
Anyway, I guess what I’m trying to say is…that am ready for t-shirts and flip-flops and tank tops (on girls, not on me) AND cause spring shows are more fun than winter shows. We’ll be adding some more shows soon so please keep an eye out. And in case you haven’t gotten your hands on a copy of Bear in the Attic you can get it on itunes so tell your friends okay?
Two more things…if you are looking for a winter show…come check us out this Saturday night (the 19th) at the Grape Street Pub in Philly. We’re playing with some kickass bands so it should be a SWEEEET night! We play at 8pm so don’t be late!
Also…we’ve a poll up on our myspace where you can VOTE for us! So just click on our name and we’ll love you forever! And tell your friends about that too!
steve
December, 31st 2007 : Happy New Year!
Don't forget our concert tonight at the grand finale of York's New Year's celebration. We will be playing at Sovereign Bank stadium starting at 10:00. It's supposed to be a nice evening weather wise, so come on out and enjoy us and then the dropping of the white rose and the fireworks!
And, whether or not you can make it out tonight - know that the guys of Kingsfoil wish you a wonderful New Year and only great things in 2008!!
steve
December, 21st 2007 : Happy Holidays!

December, 13th 2007 : Vote for bear in the attic on myspace- album of th
Hey Kids,
So it’s winter already. I can’t believe we were recording Bear in the Attic a half a year ago. It’s kind of crazy. Bear in the Attic has been nominated for album of the year by the Doctors Office Seven One Seven Awards… so now we need your help to win it! Sound good? All you need to do is send a MySpace message (once a day) to www.myspace.com/mydoctorsoffice and tell them you want Kingsfoil to win album of the year. It’s best if you put our name and the album name in the subject of the message. Voting starts tomorrow (Friday) and ends on the 21st (Friday) so… instead of clicking on “cool new videos” where some dude gets pulled by a car on a wakeboard go to www.myspace.com/mydoctorsoffice and vote for us EVERY DAY okay? And tell your friends as well. Please
What else is new with KF these days? In-between funky bar jams and throwing Resse’s Pieces at each other we have been working on some new songs. Winter keeps me inside and at the piano more so ideas have been coming out of me. We played a sweet show with a band called Fiction Plane this past Monday and I recommend you check them out. They know how to rock and are some of the coolest dudes we’ve meet in a while.
We are playing a show at the Waterway (blue room) in York this Saturday the 15th (sorry it’s 21 plus- tell your mom to go) we play at 10pm if you are planning on coming.
Also… why is it that when you buy conditioner for your hair, it comes in the same size bottle as shampoo? It’s a known fact that you gotta use more conditioner than shampoo. Right?? This really bugs me.
Don’t forget to VOTE!!! (the doctors office is also in our top friends)
Have a swell weekend,
~jordan

November, 29th 2007 : ANOTHER Chameleon Show!
Hey Kids,
In case you didn't get a chance to check out our last chameleon show (thanks to everybody who did come by the way) we've got a way to make your Dec.10th night less boring.
We're opening up for a band from England called Fiction Plane whose lead singer is Sting's son. If you're not sure who Sting is, he sang in a band called The Police and if you're not sure who The Police are then forget about it and just come see us. They are a freaking sweet band though, so check them out on our top friends.
If this show does seem like a good way to start out your week then message us or drop us a line at steve@kingsfoil.com and we'll meet you for some tickets (like always). They're only 8$ that's cheaper than a movie! Doors are at 6pm and make sure you're not late cause we're prolly playing first this time (The Mint will be playing after us)
steve
November, 20th 2007 : Show on Friday and Bear on Itunes!

We will have the new CD (yeah, duh) along with a bunch of other new merch for you to enjoy. We don't know for sure, but we've heard from some very good sources that it ALL makes great Christmas gifts!!!
Also, Bear is now up on Itunes! Here's the link for all our Ipod owning friends!!

November, 5th 2007 : Chameleon CD Release Party!
We have tickets for our Lancaster CD release party at The Chameleon available now! The show is November 23rd, which is the day after Thanksgiving, so hopefully you will be home, happy, stuffed and just a little bit bored of your siblings and/or parents and/or your Great Aunt Ethel who smells just a little like a cross between Chanel Number Five perfume, Old Spice Stick Deordant and stewed cabbage – so you will be ready to get out and come to an awesome show and help us celebrate the release of our brand new five song CD – Bear In The Attic!!!!
The show is all ages and doors are at 7:00. Right now, we are playing with Nathaniel Hohol, A Choir Silence, Farewell Flight and possibly one more act TBA – and we will be playing last. Tickets are $8 in advance from us, $10 day of show. Drop us a message via myspace, or e-mail steve@kingsfoil.com and we will work out getting some to you, OK?

October, 25th 2007 : It's Here!!!!
Hey Everybody! IT'S HERE! After a summer of waiting (you all, and us) we've got our brand new CD and can't wait to get it into your hands! Our release show will go down TOMORROW night (or TODAY if it's Friday and you're reading this!) The show is at the Valencia Ballroom and starts at 6:30 (we play at 9:30ish) - we've sold out of pre-sale tickets but no worries, you can buy your tickets at the door. Not only will we be selling the new CD but we'll also have some other new sweet merch for you! Also two more things…as well as a random fact… We'll be having another release party at the chameleon on Nov. 23rd (we'll use any excuse to have another party) so mark your calendars now for a sweet Lancaster show! Second thing- we've put up another song of the new EP called "Oceans". It's about oceans, deserts, shampoo, girls and Velcro… We hope you like it J
Also…Grape is the candy flavor that is the most off when it comes to the actual flavor of grape.

Hey Kids,
We are playing a show in York for the first time in what feels like forever…and it’s FREE! As a super duper special hasn’t happened in a LONNNG time treat, we’ll be playing an acoustic set as well as a full band one. So it’s the best of both worlds. On top of all that, you will get to find out what Codo is! So make sure to check us out on Sept. 13th at 5:30.
steve

Hey Everybody!
We had a blast at the Chameleon. We realize how lucky we are that we have so many people who care about us and come out to see us play. We appreciate each and every one of you ! Thanks for buying tickets and being there for us. In case you missed us on Monday (or even if you were there, but you need another dose of Kingsfoil music) – we have another show this Thursday, August 9th at Living Word Community Church in Red Lion, PA. Doors open at 6:00 and we will be playing with Autumn’s Rising and Hey Elephant. It’s been a while since we played with both of these groups, so we are excited and would love to have a huge local York turnout.
Thanks,
~Kingsfoil

June, 19th 2007 : Recording - Week 3
Hey kids!
We finished our final week of recording and are excited to say that we've gotten the bulk of the tracking done! None of us have killed each other yet, although there is still time when we go back in to do the mixes and final touches. Tristan noted quite clearly that he had seen me 21 days in a row and he was pretty much done being near me. Both the Steve's (Doud and Wright) have managed to make my throat feel like shit, but that's OK, they think it all sounds great, so it's worth it. As if you haven't seen enough photos, we have some more from this past weekend that you can check out when you have some time. And, keep an eye on our shows area, because we will be posting some more dates real soon. See you all in Philadelphia on the 29th!!
~Jordan
steve
June, 15th 2007 : Don't Forget Us!

Bad news- The TLC show is CANCELED (Friday and Saturday) Although we could have had the show outside this morning (it was t-shirt weather) tomorrow is supposed to be a snowy mess… We’re all bummed- BUT the show is being moved to April 27th (and 28th).

March, 3rd 2007 : Spring Break Show at the JCC
Hey kids,
We have posted a new song that features the lovely Dana Alexandra so make sure you check that out if you get a chance. The song is called “Underdeveloped” and the real shocker is it’s about relationships! (Can you believe that?) Anyway hope you like it.
We are also very much looking forward to playing York full band because it feels like it’s been years since the last time (really just months, but it feels like a while). So anyway, you should make your way out to the JCC next weekend (March 10th) for an awesome show. And this time we will have color posters! Really!
Along with us there will be:
Wayne Hsu
Book Club
Swinging Fingers
Hey Elephant
And us.
We’ll be playing second to last but make sure you get there early to catch everybody.
Love,

Hey Everybody,
There are just 6 days left until our Chameleon Club show this coming Saturday, Feb. 24th.

Check them out at www.myspace.com/justinkingband or www.justinking.com We also have some VERY desirable new merch available (yeah, all Kingsfoil merch is desirable, but unless you are, like, that first girl who was kicked off of Project Runway last year (Jordan's favorite show by the way!), this is super, mega, awesomely, without a doubt desirable). We will have the grey t-shirts (we have smalls now) brand new kf hoddies and posters – both color and black and white. Send us a message on myspace or steve@kingsfoil.com if you would like tickets (they’re just 8$ from us) and we’ll help you out. And don’t forget to bring some extra cash to the show so you can stock up on new merch.

January, 2nd 2007 : The Chameleon Rocked!! Come out to the Strand!!
Hey everybody,
First of all, happy new year! We hope your 2007 rocks. We just wanted to thank everyone who made it for coming out to the chameleon this past Wednesday. We had a sweet show and it made us realize how lucky we are to have so many awesome fans and friends. And if you are looking for something to do this Friday night (Jan. 5th) we would love to have you all out to our show at the Strand. It will be our first show of 2007 and we’re sure it will be a good one. With Dana Alexandra and Ryan Asher opening up we know we will have a sweet time.
So happy 2007 and we’ll see you Friday!

December, 21st 2006 : The Chameleon and Jordan Being Wrong Once Again!
Hey Everybody,
We would like to remind everybody that our Chameleon show is in just six days!!! If you don’t already have tickets please drop us a line on myspace or email Steve at steve@kingsfoil. We would be happy to meet you somewhere to get you some tickets. As we said before we will have some new T-shirts (which you can check out on myspace-we have a pic up) at the show too. We also have been working on new songs and we can’t wait to play them live for the first time. So bring your family if they’re still in town and come check out a sweet show.
Opening up for us there will be Amelia's Jacket, The Major Leagues and Hey Elephant.
Also, the band has been in a drawn out disagreement about the meaning of “being in ones twenties”. Tristan, Joe and Steve seem to think that once you are twenty you are in “your twenties”. I however, think that you are NOT in your twenties until you are twenty one…cause after all, when your kid is only four months old you don’t say “oh she’s one”. I would like everyone’s input.
We hope you all have the best holiday ever and we will see you in SIX DAYS!!!
Jordan (the only one who’s not 45 or in his twenties)
PS - From the rest of the band - could Jordan BE any wronger?!?! The poor dork really does think he is right. Oh well, if you want to pretend you agree with him just to make him feel better, go ahead, we understand. And we know that you really agree with us, because once you are twenty years and one day - you are IN YOUR TWENTIES!!
Joe, Tristan and Steve

We are playing with Autumn's Rising and Dana Alexandra - it's been way too long - - for Sparky's and for playing with these guys. Come on out if you can and get your tickets - we've heard they are even more popular for Christmas this year than a Wii or a PS3!!!!

December, 9th 2006 : Rockin' Out Sparkys (come get your Chameleon ticke
It's hard to believe how excited we are for the Sparky's show we have coming up next Saturday, December 16th. It's been way too long since we played there!
We're excited to be back at a venue we've had a lot of fun with in the past, playing with some other acts that we like as both musicians and friends - so come on out and get there early if you want some floor space. Along with us at Sparky’s you’ll get to enjoy Dana Alexandra and Autumn’s Rising. Can you think of a better way to kick off the holiday party season? We can’t!!
We also are very much looking forward to our Chameleon Club show on Dec. 27th (you can pick up tickets at the Sparky’s show – only $8 there, $10 at the door). The lineup for this show is Rosematter, Amelia’s Jacket, The Major Leagues, Hey Elephant and us. This is an all ages show, so everyone can come on out and enjoy it. Not only are with psyched to be headlining again but we are thrilled to announce that we will be playing brand new songs. Along with the new songs we will also have new merch for sale! This is a Kingsfoil show you won’t want to miss.
So, come catch our acoustic set at Sparky and Clarks on Dec. 16th, enjoy your families, friends and the holidays (remember, Kingsfoil merch or a Chameleon ticket ALWAYS makes a great gift!) and then be there on the 27th for what we promise will be an awesome full band Kingsfoil show!

November, 12th 2006 : What Do You Think of "Hurry Honey"?
Well, one thing about not having a bass player currently - it has given us a little more time to write and work on some new stuff. We are pretty happy with some of the stuff we are have! If you've been to a recent Kingsfoil show, you may have heard "Hurry Honey". Even if you haven't, it's up on myspace and our www.kingsfoil.com site, so take a listen. We would love your feedback (good or bad, but if it's bad, be nice, OK?) - let us know what you think!
We were happy to play for PSU York's Thon this past weekend, and are looking forward to our shows at York College and Geneva College (out near Pittsburgh). We are also working on some other local shows at venues that we enjoy playing as a three piece acoustic act, so keep your eyes open for more chances to see us live. Thanks - hope to see and/or hear from you soon!
steve
October, 29th 2006 : Generic "Not Much Going On" Update!
It's been a little while since we posted anything, and we wanted everyone to know that we are still "out here" (where is here exactly?). Anyway, before we get all karmic (although we do love "My Name is Earl"!), we are working (because we have to), practicing (because we need to) and playing (because we want to) as often as we can (well, maybe except for the working part). We're still doing exclusively acoustic set-ups, because we haven't found the bass player we are looking for so we can get back up to speed as a full band. But, trust us, we ARE looking and it's only a matter of time! And, hopefully, not too much longer!!
But, enough of all that. We have some nice shows coming up, and you should come out and hear us some time soon. We are trying out some new stuff, so you might hear something you've never heard us play before! We have a new song called "Hurry Honey" up on both myspace and our web site, so take a listen and let us know what you think (on the kingsfoil.com site, just click on the fast forward button until you get to it - it's song #6). We have the greatest friends and fans ever, and appreciate the love and support we receive from all of you. Hope to see and/or hear from you soon!!
Kingsfoil
steve
October, 17th 2006 : We're Still Looking!
Hey everybody,
We would like to let you know that we are indeed still in search for a bass player. If you are reading this and saying to yourself “I don’t play the bass” then we would ask you to keep your eye out for somebody who does. You know our style. Rock, indie, pop. Contact Steve at steve@kingsfoil.com or get in touch with us via myspace – whatever is easier. Thanks!

September, 24th 2006 : The Chameleon Rocked!

We had a blast opening up for Pistolita and Saves the Day this past weekend. A huge thanks to everyone who bought tickets in advance. (We are convinced we have some of the coolest fans around.) And, if you bought tickets at the door, but were still out to see Kingsfoil, we love you too. Last but not least, if you were there and weren’t a Kingsfoil fan, but are now – we are glad you found us.
And, how about our stand-in bass player Jacob Thro! Wasn’t he fantastic? We love ya Jake, and can’t thank you enough for playing with us, and doing it so well.

August, 21st 2006 : We're Looking for a Bass Player!
Our good friend and bass player Darren has recently made a decision to move back to the Allentown, PA area to be closer to his family. Because of this, he’s decided to leave Kingsfoil.
We wanted to take a minute to say THANKS to him for all of his hard work and support while he was playing with us. We wish you all the best!
But – Kingsfoil continues on!! We are actively looking for a bass player to take Darren’s place. If you know us, you know our style - - rock/indie, and if you know of a bass player who would enjoy playing our type of music, have him/her contact steve@kingsfoil.com to express their interest and get more info.
While we are between bass players, we are going to have to limit our shows to acoustic setups. We probably won’t be playing quite as often, or at certain venues, but we hope to stay out there playing for all of you as much as we can – keep an eye on our sites (www.myspace.com/kingsfoil and www.kingsfoil.com) and we’ll keep you updated on what’s going on. Thanks!
steve
August, 7th 2006 : We're Back!!
We're back!!!!! Did you miss us? We sure missed all of our close to home friends!!! We had a FANTASTIC time on tour - met some great people, played some awesome shows with some amazing bands - in short, a wonderful time was had by all!
And, now we are back and ready to play in more familiar surroundings!! We have a bunch of cool shows coming up - including headlining for the Living Word battle of the bands (we aren't competing, just playing and maybe judging!), playing up in Ephrata at what should be a very cool outdoor festival, playing with Holis at their CD release party (and music video filming!) and playing twice in one week in the city of York - first at the Box Lunch Revue during the lunch hour at Cherry Lane and then for the annual YorkFest celebration (where we always have a great time!). Check out our sites for more info and come on out and catch up with us - we have some stories to share and have missed you all and would love to see you!! Thanks!!!

June, 1st 2006 : Reid Menzer Benefit!
Wanted to remind everyone that we will be playing at the Reid Menzer Skatepark benefit this Saturday, June 3rd. Reid was a great person and a good friend of Kingsfoil who was killed while street luging earlier this year. In honor of his memory, a group of his friends and family are raising money to construct a skate park at Veteran's Memorial Park in York, PA. What a wonderful way to honor his life and his memory!!
The concert includes us, Autumn's Rising, Crunk Alms, Handwritten Ammunition, Capital H, 27 Lights and Pandora's Musicbox. Event runs from noon until 5:00 - we play last. Admission is free - - they will be selling raffle tickets and food items to raise money for the park. It's supposed to be a beautiful day, so come on out and support the event and us if you can.
Also, this Friday, June 2nd - we are playing a Kclinger's in Etters, PA. We are excited to be opening for Julie Schreiber who we've played a show with before - she's great!
Thanks - enjoy the beginning of summer!!!!

May, 1st 2006 : Random (BUT EXCITING!!) Kingsfoil StuffHere's some random notes and stuff about us -
1) We will be at Sparky's North in York, PA this WEDNESDAY, MAY 3RD for a band member "meet and greet". We will be selling tickets to our upcoming Chameleon show on May 6th - which is going to be our first time headlining at the Chameleon so we need your support!, will play some requests if you ask nice, and will be recording whatever we play - so you might hear yourself screaming lyrics or random stuff on a recording somewhere some day!
2) We won the Millersville Activities Board Battle of the Bands last week!! Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us, and thanks to the judges for putting us in first place!!! There were some other really great bands, so we think this is a pretty cool thing to have happen to us.
3) The beloved Kingsfoil van is soon to be no more!!!!!!! Jordan is bowing to the pressures of rising gas prices and is getting a regular size car! Can you believe it?!?! It hasn't really sunk in with us yet either, we'll miss the old girl! If you are interested in owning a piece of Kingsfoil history, post us a message on our myspace site, contact Jordan or write Steve at steve@kingsfoil.com and he'll put you in touch. Here's a pic of Jordan saying goodbye (yep, that's a tear in his poor little eye!) -

February, 11th 2006 : Quiet Weekend, but next week should rock!
Well, we have a quiet weekend for some reason (how the heck did that happen?!) - but that's OK, because it's gonna snow and look all white and pretty anyway and we need time to build snowmen and go sledding!
But, next weekend (2/17 and 2/18) should rock! We have an awesome show on the main stage at the Dragonfly in Harrisburg on the 17th. It's a 21 and over show, but if you can make it, we would love to see you out. If you want tickets, contact any of the band members, or send Steve an e-mail at steve@kingsfoil.com If you are thinking of coming out, buying the tickets from us will help us out a little cause we get credit for bringing someone to the show.
Then, on the 18th, the TLC benefit concert is finally here. The acoustic night is on the 17th, and while we can't be there because of the Dragonfly show, if you are under 21, this is the place to be. Then come back again on the 18th for the full band night to see us. Good time, good cause, what could be better? Thanks for liking us and know that we like you too!

January, 26th 2006 : Shows This Weekend
We have two really exciting shows coming up this weekend. On Friday, 1/27, we are the The District/Dragonfly in Harrisburg, PA (a 21+ show) and then on Saturday, 1/28, we are in Lancaster, PA at the Chameleon on the main stage! This show is 18+ - so if you are a little sad and frustrated that you can't get in to the show on Friday, maybe you can on Saturday! Of course, if you are over 21 - you can always come to both!!!!
Also, we were in the studio last month and recorded 3 full band tracks which we've produced as a demo CD. And, we will have a limited number of free copies available at the Chameleon show on Saturday. First come, first served! So, come on out - you will defintely hear some great music, and just might end up with a CD too!!!!

January, 23rd 2006 : In Memory of Reid
All of us were shocked and saddened at the news of the loss of Reid Menzer on Sunday, January 22nd. Reid, who was 14, was the bass player for the band Autumn’s Rising. We had the opportunity to play with him recently at Sparky and Clark’s and enjoyed his music, energy and wonderful sense of humor. Reid was, quite simply, a great guy. We will miss him.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Menzer family – Eric his Dad, Kendall his Mom and Frances his sister – we are thinking about you.

January, 1st 2006 : Happy New Year From Kingsfoil!
Kingsfoil had a WONDERFUL 2005 - releasing The Almond Tree EP - adding Darren and Joe and developing our "full band" sound - playing shows to bigger and bigger audiences - introducing new songs to everyone - we could go on and on.
And 2006 is shaping up to be even greater. We just recorded a full band demo which should be available shortly, we have new cool merch stuff available, we have some awesome shows coming up, we are planning on doing a summer tour this year and a lot more!
Thanks SO MUCH to our friends and fans for supporting us and our music. We couldn't do it without you (and wouldn't even want to!). We love you all and look forward to seeing you often in the coming year!!

December, 28th 2005 : LWCC Show Last Night - and Two Coming Up!
The show last night at LWCC was fantastic for us!!! Thanks so much to all of you who know and love Kingsfoil, and who came on out to support us. And, thanks too to all of you who are new to Kingsfoil and our music - we hope you liked what you heard!! Mike Butera and Crunk Alms were great too, weren't they! So, it rocked!!
And, the show coming up on January 6th should be another great time. We are super excited to be playing with two amazing and talented girls - Dana Alexandra and Natalie Prass, as well as Autumn's Rising. The show is at Sparky and Clarks NORTH (not downtown!) and it's an acoustic set, so even if you made it to the show last night, come on out and give us a listen acoustically.
If you can't make that - and you are over 21, take a trip over to Lancaster and check us out at the Blue Star the very next night, January 7th. That's a full band show and there is a cover there, but it's well worth it! Thanks, hope to see you soon!

December, 20th 2005 : HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Happy Holidays to all of our friends and fans! Whether you celebrate Christmas, Chaunnukah, Kwanzaa, another day or some combination of all or some of those, everyone from Kingsfoil hopes it's a safe, happy and wonderful time!
And - OK, c'mon - be honest here. By December 27th, all of your presents will be opened, played with and broken or forgotten - you will be sick of eating, tired of your family, going stir crazy and will have a NEED for a change of scenery and some good music.
Well, we have just the thing!!!! A very cool show coming up on the 27th at Living Word Church. They have this really inviting, comfortable coffee house space (lots of good drinks, snacks and comfortable couches) and we will be playing with Crunk Alms and Mike Butera. Should be a great time. We play at 8:45, but get there at 7:00 to catch all three acts. Thanks - hope to see you there!

If you want a sneak peek - click

November, 29th 2005 : Thanks for your Support!
We had an AWESOME time at the shows this past weekend. Sparky and Clarks was fun (as always) and we were excited at all of the folks who turned out. We had a lot of great comments about the addition of Joe and Darren to our acoustic arrangements, we love the sound too!!
And, the JCC show with Tea and Simple and Supreem totally rocked!!! All of you who were there were fantastic - screamin' and yellin' and having a great time! Simple and Supreem were totally cool, and Tea was amazing (as always). Thanks for your support.
We are also really happy with all of the t-shirt design submissions we have received, we have some creative friends and fans out there!! If you have a design, please send it along - we can always make more than one kind of shirt (or button, or sticker, or poster, etc.!)! Send them to steve@kingsfoil.com (.jpg or .psd files preferred - thanks!).

November, 24th 2005 : Thanksgiving Wishes (and shows this weekend)
Kingsfoil is thankful for so many things - our wonderful friends and family, the ability to play our music, each other. But, most of all, especially on a day like Thanksgiving, we want to let you all know we are so thankful for the fantastic friends and fans we have! You are the best, and we appreciate all you do - listening to our music, letting us know how much you appreciate what we are doing, being there at our live shows and listening, dancing and singing along with us as we play. Thanks!!
You have a great opportunity to hear us live (full band) this coming Saturday, the 26th at 7:15 PM at the Jewish Community Center of York. We are playing with Tea and Simple and Supreem. Cost is $6.00. We play first, so come out - and don't be late or you'll miss us! We've been working hard, and are excited and ready to rock out!
Also, on Friday the 25th we will be at one of our favorite intimate venues - Sparky and Clarks downtown. This is a free show - and will be an acoustic set - - but Darren and Joe will be joining Tristan and Jordan for a few songs too. More info is available on the web site under the schedule link. If you can come out to one or both, we would love to see you. But, wherever you are, whatever you are doing - - stay safe, don't eat too much, and know that we love ya all!!!

November, 8th 2005 : CHANGE OF VENUE FOR THE SHOW ON 11/26
The show on the 26th has been moved from the Strand to the JCC in York. It's on Hollywood Drive a little south of the city - parking should be a lot better, and the show will still rock!! Simple and Supreem and Tea are playing also - should be a great time. See the schedule page for the address and to get directions. See you there!!
And - don't forget to check out the previous post about the T-shirt design contest. We are still accepting your design ideas!

October, 31st 2005 : Kingsfoil T-shirt Design Contest!
OK, we give up. We’ve been trying to come up with a new t-shirt/logo design for a while now, but none of us has had any big inspirations or ideas!
Then we realized – we have the best, most creative fans in the world out there and we are sure SOMEONE will have a fantastic idea! We’ve already seen some neat stuff on other people’s MYSPACE sites, on various notebooks and pads, we might have even seen a tattoo or two (those are the REAL diehard fans!).
So, if you do have an idea and you can create it and send it to us (.PSD format preferred – we can probably work with a .JPG), and we use your design – you get a signed t-shirt when we make them AND $50!! How about that for incentive!
Just send your design file to steve@kingsfoil.com. If you can't get the file to us via attachment, e-mail Steve and we will work something out. Thanks for your help!!

October, 13th 2005 : First Chameleon Club Show
This weekend is our first show at the Chameleon club in Lancaster. We are really excited about playing our first full band show at this venue. It's a 21+ show, so we know some of our loyal fans (we love you guys) won't be able to be there, but if you are old enough - please come out and support us! And, we are going to be back there on the MAIN STAGE in November and even better - it's an all ages show! So, check out the schedule page on the site and mark our upcoming dates on your calendars. Thanks!

September, 4th 2005 : Kingsfoil 4 Piece Debut!
The guys are working really hard to get ready for the first show as a 4 piece band!
Along with Jordan and Tristan, Joe Cipollini is Kingsfoil's new drummer and Darren McGuire is the new bassist. They are working on the Kingsfoil songs you all know and love already - having a full band just allows a deeper and richer sound that makes songs like Collision Kid and Chocolate Rose rock even more that usual!
Look for more info on Joe and Darren on the site soon - we will be adding their bios, pics and other information. Jordan and Tristan will continue to play as an acoustic duo depending on show needs and/or the space, and we will try and designate the type of show on the schedule page. Come on out and listen to Kingsfoil as a full band, and join us as often as you can for Kingsfoil's two piece shows. We love ya all!!!!
steve
August, 29th 2005 : ANOTHER SCHEDULE CHANGE!

We will post more info just as soon as we have stuff confirmed. Thanks!!
