Guns, Guitars, Chicks and Booze describe this L.A. based rock ‘n’ roll group. Formed in June 2006, The L.A. King Pins have been tearing clubs apart across Southern California for a little over a year now. The L.A. King Pins bring their own breed of RAB to each stage they perform on and literally smash the competition to pieces! The band saw its first taste of success in December of 2007 when they were billed as the opening act for legendary punkabilly band, 7 Shot Screamers from St. Louis. Later, in January of 2008 the band opened for Lee Rocker (Stray Cats) at Rockabilly Revenge 2 and had the pleasure of working with the Hellcat record label. They also played back to back dates with The Chop Tops after opening for Psycho Devilles (Georgia) and Hellbound Hayride in April of 2008. From bar fights to one night stands, these cats have it all! This is an act that you won’t want to miss! Watch for The L.A. King Pins in a town near you!
