Dug Pinnick of King's X: 50+ Years of Musical Passion

King's X, the band formed by bassist, songwriter, and vocalist
Dug Pinnick, guitarist Ty Tabor, and drummer Jerry Gaskill
roughly 40 years ago, has pushed musical, lyrical, and even
technological boundaries since its debut. Before that, these
musical adventurers brushed up against the Christian music
subculture as members of Phil Keaggy's band and others. But
despite their early connection to the Jesus Movement - or perhaps
because of it - they decided to specifically avoid any connection
to the Christian music market when they formed King's X.
Thousands of Christian rock fans nonetheless embraced them,
parsing the imagery in their lyrics and wondering where they were
coming from.


35 years into their journey, King's X continues to  innovate
in the studio and rock on the stage. Listen in as Dug reflects on
a long and - at times heartbreaking life in hard rock.
