King Nancy

about

King Nancy is a powerful quartet hailing from Newfoundland, the very edge of the known earth. But don't expect fiddles and traditional music from them. Expect instead a healthy antidote to mundane rock, laced with driving, emotive music, and introspective lyrics. This September the lads are gearing up to release their newest album -- 'This Is Not A High Five' -- produced by Andy Magoffin (Constantines, Great Lake Swimmers, Jim Guthrie). With 'This Is Not A High Five', the band has recorded an album that bridges the gap between indie spunk and mainstream commercialism. Although they set out to record an album they wanted to hear, they ended up creating something which can be enjoyed by everyone -- from the hippest scenester to the the most spoon fed of tastes. Jerry Stamp (vox, guitar) founded the group while he was pursuing classical music studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland. To counterpoint his anthemic songwriting, Stamp enlisted the talents of Mark Turner, the professorial indie fiend (lead guitar), Brad Madden, the stoner rock afficianado (bass) and Chris Clarke, the Keith Moon protege who never listened to Keith Moon (drums). The four hit the studio soon after forming, and released their first album 'To Quitta' in 2002. Less than two months later they packed up all their worldly possessions into a van and headed off for Toronto, the supposed epicentre of music in Canada. The next four years brought the band closer together as they were forced to live with each
