A small jaunt down to Belleville to Schwoegglers’ Sugar River Lanes for this installment of Trailer Kings. We come down for the Snowmobile Club’s annual party. Interestingly enough, it was on the warmest day of the month. Still, it didn’t stop people from dancing and having a good time.

An interesting point in the evening is when an auctioneer comes up to auction off items. I thought I talked fast….

Thanks to the club for letting us play your party!

Trailer Kings saw their Halloween at the Country Key, right next door to the Baja. We played the night away and had a lot of great costumes. The top prize was a pile of…. well, it start with a “S” and ends with it.

The coolest part was how many people thought Tim looked like Brett Michaels. Girls were coming up getting their pictures taken. It was a blast!

The Kings had a great opportunity to play in the new Studio at Full Compass. originally slated to do 3 songs (Good Things by Bodeans, Mary Jane’s Last Dance by Tom Petty and Blue on Black by Kenny Wayne Shepherd), we ended up doing a total of 6 (Honky Tonk Women by Rolling Stones, I Shall Be Released by Bob Dylan and Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash).

Below are some pictures and a couple of the videos that were shot. There is more up on our Facebook profile

I Shall Be Released

Ring of Fire

We opened for the Darrin James Band at the Annex on October 11th. Dennis – General Manager of the Regent St. Retreat and Annex – was on hand to watch. Thanks to all that came out!

I’d like to tell you, but we don’t know from show to show. You might hear some Jimmy Buffet, Toby Keith and AC/DC one night, then Rolling Stones, BoDeens and Alice in Chains the next. That is the diversity of the Kings.

Want to hear a song? Yell it out. You’d be surprised what we know. Better yet, choose one of the 3 sets we have posted and check out what happens at the gig for yourself.

Of course if you feed us the Cabo, we’ll play anything, or we’ll at least drink with you….

Dave Martin has been sitting in with us on a few gigs. Things have been working out, so we officially welcome Dave to the Trailer.

Dave has played in many a band, but the most notable is the Trailer Kings. Therefore, we won’t bother with the others.

What are the Trailer Kings all about? Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, this picture gallery should leave you speechless. From playing outdoors at FINS, Baraboo, and Bratfest, to playing our home base of Baja and even Shipwreck bay. We’ve got tons of great pix of the band. Flip through it!
