Full Biography

The Cartoon Kings
The Cartoon Kings perform mainly in the Midlands area and like most bands offer a large selection of songs by original artists. However, The Kings also offer the choice of either electric or acoustic shows making them ideal for ANY private function, festival or corporate event. They can cater for weddings, parties, special occasions and anything else. Oozing with personality and style the Cartoon Kings can supply whatever you’re looking for!

Each band member has many years of experience at playing live so you can expect a professional show. They provide up to 2 hours of live music which still maintains a raw, energetic feeling. The band has the flexibility to cover all genres of music, with the added bonus of male and female vocals, this gives a complete show!

The band's performance uses a 4400 watt full range HK Linear 5 system with an Allen & Heath Qu-16 Digital Desk, plus a complete lighting show with the latest ADJ 8 TPAR System COB LED Stage Lighting with ADJ LED floor lights.

The band uses only the very best instruments, amplifiers and microphones, including brands such as Fender, Gibson, Taylor guitars, Yamaha trb 4p bass Guitar and Trace Elliot amps. Beyer Microphones, Craviotto drum kit and a Korg Kronos piano completes the kit list.

The Kings will play music via a laptop or media device of your choice between sets which is included in the price! Or provide a separate DJ for an extra fee. They also offer a fully silent stage show if needed. This comprises of no backline amps, guitars driven via high end pods, as well as Alesis Strike Pro Electric drum kit and in ear monitors. This reduces overall volume allowing them to accommodate limiter friendly venues where needed.

The Cartoon Kings' repertoire ranges from Oasis to Bruno Mars, from the Beatles to 80's classics to 00's dance. There is a wide and versatile selection in the rock/pop genre as well as guaranteed 'dance-floor' classics like 9 to 5, I’m a Believer and Brown-Eyed Girl with up to date music from artists such as Pharrell Williams, Rudimental and Florence and the Machine completing the play list.
