More than 40 YEARS IN THE MAKING!

Doomtown Sounds, in collaboration with Toody Cole and the surviving members of the band, is proud to present the release of the KING BEE album, containing a dozen unreleased studio and live songs recorded between 1977 and 1981. King Bee was Fred Cole’s late 70’s band, and their music occupied an important position in Fred’s development as a songwriter.

This often-overlooked part of Fred’s career saw him combining elements of his 60’s roots with this new sound called punk rock, and it was this synthesis of styles which led to the Rats, and, eventually, to the creation of DEAD MOON.

In celebration of what would have been Fred’s 74th birthday, we’re announcing the opportunity to pre-order copies of the LP. The official release day is October 1st, but order now and reserve your copies of this forgotten gem…limited versions will be available on King Bee’s Bandcamp page, so order now before copies sell out!

The CD contains all of the songs from the vinyl version, PLUS an extra 9 bonus tracks!

High shipping costs from the US, German customs and sales tax (19%) result in the
fairly high price of the record. It's worth having though ; )
