Hello again all:

We're excited to announce that we've just posted FOUR new tracks from our forthcoming release:  Rock The Body Language.  As you may be aware,  you can download them for free from theminorkings.com

There is a sense, as we look back at the long process of creating and recording these songs, that the music no longer belong to us.  We have completed them and now we give them to you.  Because without you they are meaningless.  So happy listening.  Enjoy.

Hey again all:

We've already told you about the show we're playing Saturday (see blog post below).  So consider this something to whet your appetite:

Today's Tennessean covers the show and mentions your truly (ahem, The Minor Kings) and describes us one of "the city's rising talents" with "a catalogue of solidly written rock songs."

We're cool with that.

The Minor Kings are pleased to announce we will be performing this Saturday, June 27, at Limelight in Nashville, TN.  The event, titled "Music City Mixer," is a new performance series featuring local artists of a variety of genres (Rock, Hip Hop, Soul Country).  Think Later with Jools Holland on a city-wide scale.  Thanks a lot to Hip Hop artist Stix Izza for all the hard work in making this event happen!

Hello again all:

Thanks so much to Will Hackett and the folks at Athens Blur Blogazine  for featuring us on the site.  We always loved Athens (Alex is a Bulldog, remember) and we're honored to have our name consdiered on the musical radar of that great town.  Check out the post here:

Nate Rau of the Nashville City Paper recently interviewed Alex Hall, lead vocalist of The Minor Kings, concerning a proposed fine on fliers in Metropolitan Nashville. The fine would hold clubs and venues responsible for fliers posted by artists.

In the interview, Hall voiced his opposition to the bill on the grounds that it would unfairly punish club owners. Read the full article here http://bit.ly/HSQ6y

The Music Biz Guy, David Sherbow, just posted a new episode of his Music Biz Guy Show on YouTube.  In the latest episode (towards the end), he makes mention of The Minor Kings and our song "Slow Motion Centerfold."

We love the style of the show--dude waxes Music Industry on a couch, lapdog as sidekick.  Awesome.

Hey all:

We've posted a video of "Plan B" from the show last Saturday.  Watch out for the blonde monkey hanging from the ceiling towards the end!

Hello again everyone:

We've been actively casting our net in the fishery of Twitter, the micro-blogging phenomenon whose potential has yet to be quantified.  Looks like we caught something:

A music blog-site, New Musical Order, contacted us about doing a blog-feature on our FREE MUSIC commitment.  As you know, our music is available for free download from our website.  New Musical Order blogs about free music; in their own words:

The premise is simple… to provide you with the freshest LEGAL download links on the web, whatever the genre.

Check out the site and see what Dan Nash and the guys at NMO had to say about us!

Hello Friends:

We'll be having a kind of listening party on 91.1 FM Nashville, WRVU.  The show will be Wednesday, February 11, 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (CST).  You can stream the show at wrvu.org

We'll be broadcasting four tracks from our debut album, Rock The Body Language; answering questions; and performing a couple of songs in a stripped down, acoustic style.  This last part excites us: we'll be playing a new song, "Alma Rosé", that we literally finished writing tonight. And we'll be performing "Military Science" in a way we've never done it.

So check it out--tell a friend--and we'll let you know how it goes.

--Chris, Alex, Ryan
