Artist History KingSize has become one of Boston's hottest new rock bands, after bursting onto the scene in early 2002. Their energetic live shows and unique sound began to generate quite a buzz in the Boston scene. Soon, they were selling out the clubs in Boston, including Bill's Bar, The MiddleEast, and T.T. The Bear's. This was followed by headlining appearances at Boston's NEMO showcase, and New York's ASCAP showcase. Adrian and David are no strangers to the Boston music scene, as their previous band (My Favorite Relative) won 2 Boston Music Awards among its 6 nominations. In early 2002, Adrian and David formed Kingsize. The band has been described as "a fresh addition to the Boston rock scene, combining elements of hard rock, innovative guitar textures, and catchy melodies...to create a style all their own". Adrian's fiery vocals and charismatic performances bring to mind the vocal greats of the past, a modern incarnation of Led Zeppelin and Soundgarden's dynamic frontmen. After acquiring new management, the band has spent the last year playing throughout the Northeast, building a strong, dedicated following. Past touring partners have included Princess Superstar, Lo-Fidelity Allstars, Vertical Horizon, Men at Work, Saint Etienne, Great Big Sea and the Push Stars. Although unsigned, their music has already received airplay on several major radio stations in Boston, and throughout New England. The band recently finished new recordings at New York's Hit Factory with Grammy award-winning producer/engineer Neil Dorfsman (Sting, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen). Kingsize described the experience in a recent interview at WKPE 104.7: "Working with Neil really enabled us to explore greater possibilities as a band. He did a great job of capturing what this band is all about. We are very excited to share these new songs with our fans..." The release of KingSize's debut album is scheduled for early 2003.
