aKING is a melodic Pop-Rock band hailing from the suburb of Bellville in Cape Town, South Africa. They were formed when Hunter Kennedy and Jaco Venter from Fokofpolisiekar, teamed up with friends Laudo Liebenberg and Hennie van Halen, combining their their creative forces in making music that expresses their shared experiences and influences.
aKING is an audio diary of life and survival in the suburbs. Expect uncompromising, focused energy. Sing-along alternative country-inspired songs and Classic Rock anthems are at the order of the day.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
NOTES: Standard tuning, pretty straight-forward song. Not exactly sure of everything (as usualy), because the guitars are quite tricky :) But hope you will have fun with it!
Love the band, hope someone would tab them more!!!
