Northwest Unreleased Masters, 1967-70

Featuring Ray Kennedy and Roger Huycke from legendary garage band The Wilde Knights (of “Beaver Patrol” / “Just Like Me” fame), King Biscuit Entertainers rocked the Northwest music scene between 1968 and 1971, building up a reputation as one of the better live bands from the Pacific Northwest Ballroom circuit.

Along with releasing a bunch of 45s for several local labels, the band recorded lot of stuff at their own state-of-the art home studio which never saw the light of day. This retrospective features a selection from their unreleased tape archive plus rare 45 sides, 1967-1970, including the fantastic garage-jangle 45 they recorded under the Genesis name. Music ranges from British influenced mod-psych to early hard-rock with stunning guitar and vocals. The raw sound and production brings to mind similar bands like Brain Police.
