Duriel King of Maggots

When you turn on a King of Foxes tune, it's a safe bet that the skies will open, alien aircraft will appear, the ark of the covenant will descend before ye, and all of your childhood pets will arise from the dead. Also, you'll hear an indie alternative artist whose undeniably catchy songs earned her a Rock Artist of the Year nomination at the Western Canadian Music Awards, a spot on the Edmonton Music Prize Top 3 shortlist, and a nod from Cups ‘n Cakes: “King of Foxes is the real deal.” File next to Sloan, Fountains of Wayne, or The Beaches. Fronted by singer-songwriter Olivia Street, King of Foxes has released three critically acclaimed albums. Twilight of the Empire—recorded in a basement with beige shag carpet on the walls and a Wurlitzer in the closet—quickly rose to #1 on the CKUA chart. Her music has also found its way onto some prestigious “best of” lists, including as #11 on CKUA’s Top 100 Albums of 2022, and among NPR radio’s George Graham’s Best of the Year list. A new album is scheduled for release in 2025, titled Hall of Shame, with JUNO-winning producer Zach Zanardo.

King of the World in December 2014 took various shows on during their tour. Many recordings with the outlier the show in Paradiso. This resulted in the CD Live at Paradiso. The new CD Live at Paradiso contains King of the World classics like Let's go get stoned, Bluesified and Can't go home, but also new songs as Do it and Woman across the river.
