King's X

King’s X is the trio of bassist and vocalist Doug Pinnick, guitarist Ty Tabor, and drummer Jerry Gaskill. The group has been recognized for keeping its core lineup intact since the mid-1980s and for building a devoted following around a sound that sits between heavy rock muscle, progressive structure, and melodic vocal interplay.

At Ludlow Garage Cincinnati, expect a focused rock show centered on musicianship: weighty riffs, groove-driven low end, drums that leave room for dynamics, and the band’s signature harmonies. The official event listing points to a catalog that spans fan favorites such as “Over My Head,” “It’s Love,” “Goldilox,” and “Dogman,” along with influential albums including Out of the Silent Planet, Gretchen Goes to Nebraska, and Dogman.

King’s X appeals to listeners who like heavy music with unusual contours - progressive metal without losing the song, funk and soul textures inside a hard-rock frame, and vocals that distinguish the band from many of its peers. Ludlow Garage’s Cincinnati room gives that blend a setting where the trio’s detail and volume can stay front and center.
