Interview with Mark King by Bob Considine

In this chat with Bass Musician Magazine, King reveals some secrets behind his propulsive playing style, the band’s history and also talks of some soon-to-be-released new material to go with the band’s year of reflection.

There should be five brand new songs on an EP that will be packaged with a “Running In The Family” Deluxe edition in time for our October tour in Europe. So a September release would be my guess and it’s all good funk. But in the meantime, I’m working on some acoustic interpretations of a few of our songs from over the years that will be included in the 30th Anniversary 4-cd set that Universal Music are putting together right now for a summer release.

    Great read! My two favorite quotes in the article are “Mother of God, this is tricky!” and “But we will play as much old material as possible, mainly because that’s all there is.” I chuckled out loud for both. I love Mark’s quick wit.

    2010 is going to be a great year for us, bring on the music!

    Great interview! So cool to hear from the man himself. Favorite quote “I just lie back on the groove and think of England.” Too funny!!! Is it July yet?
