Get down with Two Crown King
Since releasing their latest
self—titled EP in July, local band
Two Crown King has been gaining
momentum here in London and
beyond. And while the band continues
to make every performance
feel like a homecoming, they're
likely to stay on everyone's minds
and lips for a while yet to come.
On November 18, Two Crown King is returning to London in a headlining appearance at Rum Runners with guests StereoKid, My Son The Hurricane and DJ DoubleDown, marking their first gig in town since they opened for Arkells at the University of Western Ontario a month ago.
The show was brilliant; The Wave at UWO was filled and buzzing with students. The band was on top of their game, as tight as they've ever been but all the more stoked to be playing an old stomping ground. Fans are remarkably able to identify with each member in the band; born within Fanshawe's walls, Two Crown King has grown in the last few years to include a fuller family of artists regardless of their schools.
That family wasn't built exclusively of fans, either; the band is warm and approachable and it's easy to see how much they enjoy interacting with their fans at gigs, a measure of class that sadly eludes so many acts these days.
Also commendable is the band's presence on social media — interacting regularly with their fans and followers on Facebook, Twitter and more, Two Crown King is setting a strong example for their contemporaries and sending a clear message to their fans that they're listening to us and appreciate that we're taking the time to tell them how we feel.
Released July 1, their EP boasts six strong songs that range from bombastic funk and hip hop to smooth pop and soul. What's more, the band wants you to have their album absolutely free — available on their website at twocrownking.com/freealbum — and often hand out download cards at their shows. Get the album, listen to it loudly, and if you like it, share it with everyone you know.

Their gig at Rum Runners on November 18 is a licensed all ages event, with doors opening at 9 p.m. Advance tickets are $7 and are available from D—Tox Clothing, Grooves Records, Tequila Rose downtown or online via ticketscene.ca.
