King(2)

:(This page is about the 70's punk band. For Paul King's previous bands, Reluctant Stereotypes and King, see King. For the Elvis impressionist singer, see King(3)).
King was a short-lived pop punk band founded by The Damned's Captain Sensible during the summer of 1978. They played just five gigs at Gibus Club in Paris (late June 1978) and recorded one John Peel session for the BBC (transmitted 20 July 1978). A 10 date tour of Ireland, to be followed by four nights at Hurrah's in New York and a UK tour in September 1978 (as announced in Melody Maker 29 July 1978) didn't happen as the band broke up again and Captain Sensible returned to The Damned.
