Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the name of the 2018 debut Vinyl EP release?

Answer: Future Giants

The vinyl release went down a storm. When interviewed by the BBC, Kingsley famously told them, 'it's called that because that's what we're going to be.' He later admitted to the NME that he'd seen the words on an Australian freight truck!

2. What is the name of Track 1 of the debut vinyl release?

Answer: Feed the Swan

This was apparently the first song that Kingsley wrote when he moved to Walton-on-Thames, a town in Surrey, UK, well-known for its diverse and beautiful water fowl.

3. Tricky one this: There is a old film sample at the start of the single 'Hold Tight'; what female name is uttered?

Answer: Peggy

The sample comes from a 1930 movie just before the cast begin to sing a number. The film is 'Song O' My Heart' directed by Frank Borzage and starring John McCormack. The song is 'Kitty My Love, Will You Marry Me?'.

4. Guitarist 'Tommy F' received rave reviews for his dexterous and diverse riffs, but what does the 'F' stand for?

Answer: Fassnidge

Tommy F's craftsmanship has earned favourable comparisons with Indie icons Johnny Marr and John Squire.

5. Vinyl only track: What is the name of the acoustic duet not available on the CD or the streaming sites?

Answer: A Situation of Great Love

This haunting track is very folky but hard to find!

6. Which Indie legend did Kingsley Beat play the 100 Club, The Manchester Academy and The 02 Islington with between 2016 and 2018?

Answer: Tom Hingley

Glory days Inspiral Carpets frontman Tom Hingley was the headliner in July 2016 with the now legendary 100 Club show in Oxford Street, London. Dates elsewhere in London and Manchester followed.

7. Who is the female backing vocalist on 'Balcony'?

Answer: Rachel Williams

Both Williams and Luscombe appear on several KB tracks, but it's Rachel who sings on 'Balcony'. The only other backing vocalist is actually Tommy F.

8. The 4th track on the EP instructs us to make what go away?

Answer: Monsters

This is an absolute belter of a song, and it might give you nightmares, but there are definitely no moths or wheelbarrows in the lyrics!

9. Kingsley Beat was famously banned from a London venue for defacing a Beatles-themed chair, so that it read 'Kingsley Beat' rather than The Beatles. Which venue was it?

Answer: The Half Moon

Kingsley confessed to Mojo magazine that he has had to decline several lucrative support slots because of this sacrilegious indiscretion! Sorry Kingsley, we love you but that serves you right! No one should disrespect The Beatles!

10. Which legendary UK Indie-Dance crossover band did Kingsley Beat open for in 2018?

Answer: Jesus Jones

Another iconic show, Jesus Jones and KB put on a memorable night in March 2018 at the now closed-forever Borderline venue in Soho.
