King of the Slums started up in around 1985 in the 'Hulme', area of Manchester,
England UK. They never considered themselves a 'Manchester' band, just a band with
an arty background, a little self-indulgent with story-type songs. A distorted
electric violin was used all the time in early recordings, along with guitar, bass
and drums. They continued developing this sound throughout their initial singles
and albums. In 1991, following their 3rd studio album, they fell out with record
companies, management and each other and disbanded. Their instruments damaged, their
biro’s broken. They were on the verge of a tour in the USA, and were considered a
vital LIVE act.
In 2009 the band embarked on a new album, but everyone fell out again and only
developed 5 or 6 new songs. The resulting album, “The Orphaned Files” sold out many
times and is now a collector’s item but the band did not pursue things further.
The band got back together 7 years later and released a full brand new album ‘Manco
Diablo’ in 2017 which received widespread critical acclaim. In short succession
their 6th studio Album ‘Artgod Gods’ followed in 2018. Happily the new album featured
the reintroduction of violin and viola. An incendiary and emotionally charged live
performance, their first for many years, took place on 23rd June 2018 at Manchester’s
Night and Day venue in which the band featured songs encompassing their full recorded
history.
