It's happening! The long spring New Orleans enjoyed this year is now but a memory and just a couple tropical depressions later, it's real hot. Like real hot. And things are really happening. Like, soo happening. 
This SHIRT is happening. It's coming out now and is being followed by an accompanying album of songs on July 21st that is sure to please everyone you know including you. Lots of happenings all the time and more every day. It's pretty neat. After 7 matchless years of making like an island with very basic t-shirts for sale and no accompanying musical merchandising, something has happened and now we're really happening and we're headed back to super nice Denmark to tell people about it. For real. Please stay in contact with us here and find out about all the future happenings and "be happening". Tune In, Turn On, Get Turnt.
King James & the Special Men are like an Olds 88 with a new big-block and a full tank of gas. Hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana, they play Rock and Roll, look like a gang, and sound like fine chicken and wine. When they aren’t busy riding in airplanes, playing fancy concerts in exotic places, or just liking things better the old way, Jimmy and the boys can be found at home eating donuts, baking pork cookies, and ruling Downtown like Lords. Their music is unadulterated Rock and Roll, plain and simple. Like Professor Longhair, Little Richard, Guitar Slim, and the Stooges, King James & the Special Men like it raw, frenetic, and dangerous. Like Dave Bartholomew, Fats Domino and the Ramones, they like simple, good songs that are easy to dance to. Like you, they possess the most discerning of tastes, prefer a nice Sativa, and always drink Champagne with their pinky fingers out. King James & the Special Men exist on a different plane, like a destination more than a musical combo. People travel great distances to see them, they make pilgrimage, they arrive, and they drink straight from the fountain. Time slips away, the old become young, the young become wise, and for a glorious moment the end doesn’t seem quite so near after all. With their debut album “Act Like You Know”, King James & the Special Men are finally bringing the spectacle to you and millions of your friends all around the world that you might shake your monkey meat, ball the wall, and sooky dooky as long as you damn well please! If you don’t know…
