About

Intertwining layers of Romani, Balkan and Celtic folk into a punk-fuelled tornado, King Of The Travellers summon the musical ghosts of yore from every corner of the globe. On their fierce new single Señor Oxido, the Fremantle 7-piece ride into new territory with a heavy gallop – immersing the listener in a scorching Spaghetti Western. While the song's lyric is a playful ode written upon the departure of former bandmate Rusty, Señor Oxido is a powerful orchestration of the band's impressive roll call: Nathan Hull (vocals), Sam Reed (French horn), Djan Irianto (guitar), Alex Green (bass), Josh Cutler (drums, percussion) Tristan Hull (mandolin), and Ben Power (clarinet, organ). Although sounding nothing like their previous work, Señor Oxido is perfectly at home amidst King Of The Travellers' set-list – bursting at the seams with the band's innate ability to inspire a heaving dance floor. Since day one, King Of The Travellers have been this way... a band able to get the whole room ...
