Update on Kitty Armstrong & the Band King Tribute Machine
First of all, let's welcome Corrine Graves to our Team! She has agreed to be the Canadian Representative for the Band, and we thank her for taking on the challenge! On the About Us page now you'll see the main players of this Band and of the people who work hard to keep it going! To all of you who work like a demon on this venture I want to extend my thanks!
Kitty and her son arrive in the UK on the 16th of August, at which point they will be going into immediate seclusion. Kitty will then immediately start the process of finishing her album titled, "The King's Court".
The album is dedicated to all Level 42 Band members, both past and present, and also the song The King of Life, is dedicated to Mark King personally. All songs were written by Kitty Armstrong.
1. Mirrors
2. Thats me, a Survivor
3. Come on up
4. check it at the door
5. I don't need it
6. what comes around stops
7. The King of Life - bonus solo too with this one. This song will be released as a single.
On the album as well there will be a special mention to Kitty's sponsor, Mr John Diggins of Jaydee Guitars. He has never failed to help us or assist us and we owe him our gratitude in spades! Thanks man, you're a pal!
Kitty will be attending several Level 42 shows this year and we will have those dates within the next month or so. It was over 28 years ago that Kitty first heard the Band and the musicians that she has devoted her life to since, and it also marks the 22nd year (1986 was the year when she mastered the "slap style" that Mark King is known for) that she has been successful playing Mark King's and Level 42's music, and so it is a truly important milestone in her life and in our's.
There are also plans in the works for a trip to the Netherlands as well. As soon as the date is confirmed, it will be released. A visit to the Band Manager Frits Bosman is planned, as well as visiting and working with Mr Gert Emmens, who is a very talented composer and musician in his own right.
To everyone who has written or called us, we thank you for your support and now we'd like to wish everyone a very good day!
Frits Bosman, Band Manager
Welcome to KING TRIBUTE MACHINE, based in Canada. It is the only verified tribute band of it's kind in Canada and is getting particularly well known for it's female bass player, Kitty Armstrong. With over 20 years experience with Mark King's and Level 42's music, she has quietly made herself known in the music industry, due to her consistent playing ability, which is remarkably similar to Mark King's.
This band is devoted, with many thanks, to Mark King in particular, and Level 42 members, both past and present. For more information on Mark King and Level 42, visit FOREVERNOW.COM or LEVEL42.COM.
