King Mo

the artist According to the critics and the crowds that the band are attracting, KING MO are probably the hottest blues band in Holland today. Founded at the end of 2008, all the members are veterans of the European festival circuit, having played with their former bands at major events such as North Sea Jazz, Noorderslag, BRBF Peer, Moulin Blues and in venues such as Melkweg Amsterdam and Forest National in Brussels. Lefty-guitarist ‘young’ Sjors Nederlof is undoubtedly the centre of attention in the band. He has toured extensively with Coup de Grace and The Strikes, as well as recorded and toured with Tino Gonzales. Singer Phil Bee has performed and toured with the likes of Noel Redding (Jimi Hendrix Experience), Jan Akkerman, Steve Lukather (Toto) and Ana Popovic. With his previous band Phil Bee and the Buzztones he has played major festivals and venues. Hammond organist Colly Franssen and bass player Jules van Bussel were also members of Phil Bee and the Buzztones. Colly has performed with a long list of musicians, from Jan Akkerman to Bertus Borgers to Arno Adams, in many cases along with Jules. Drummer Henk Punter has earned his stripes playing and recording with the likes of Memo Gonzales, Monti Amunson, Lazy Lester, T-99 to name a few. He is a blues drummer with heart and soul, responsible for King MO’s fat grooves. King MO’s music can best be described as soulful blues with a rock-edge. Having established themselves in 2009, King MO have played to and amazed crowds of thousands of people, not necessarily all blues fans. www.kingmo99.com MySpace Dutch & Belgian Tourdates
