King Goon formed in 2011 in Swansea. Originally operating as a soundman-terrifying 8-piece, the line-up has slimmed down over the years to a less-imposing-but-nonetheless-still-rowdy 5-piece, with three singers wailing up front and a wall of bouncy noise clattering and whooping away behind.
The simple idea behind King Goon is âMusic to dance to. Not stupidâ; a concept which â in all its reductive glory â has served them well over the years. Youâll hear elements of ska, hip-hop, punk, soul, indie, rock, reggae, dance and unashamed power-pop, all propelled by a bass-heavy, funky groove and soaked in glorious vocal harmonies.

Fe glywch chi elfennau o ska, hip-hop, pync, soul, indie, roc, reggae, dawns a power-pop diedifar, i gyd wediâu gyrru ymlaen gan groove  ffynci a thrwm ar y bas, ac wediâu trwytho mewn harmonĂŻau lleisiol gogoneddus.
