LP

King Bee was the precursor to the legendary Dead Moon, and was Fred Cole’s first attempt at bridging his 60’s and 70’s garage and hard rock styles with this new punk rock sound . These missing gems are being made available here for the first time ever, recovered from archived tapes, carefully restored and mastered.

Compiled from master reels and cassette tapes that had been stored in a box for more than 40 years, this album contains more than a dozen unreleased studio and live tracks, as well as the three tracks from the band’s 1978 7” EP.

Fred Cole – Guitar & Vocals
Mark Sten – Bass
Pat Conner – Drums
