Pennsylvanians Kingsfoil Play The Space Tonight, Feb. 15

Ten years ago, musicians Jordan Davis and Tristan Martin decided to pool their musical talents, and formed Kingsfoil together. As a duo, they found fans and played plenty of shows, but realized their size was holding them back because a lot of venues in their area weren't interested in booking an acoustic two-some. "The bigger clubs wouldn’t book a duo. They wouldn’t get behind a smaller act like that and we wanted to be able to play some bigger clubs," says Davis, the band's singer and guitar player, as well as primary lyricist, of the decision to flesh out the band to a full, electric ensemble. But the real reason is much simpler: "It just seems so much fun to be ...loud," he says.
