King’s X Ready To Go Back To Nebraska
King’s X are planning to take the album Gretchen Goes To Nebraska on the road.
Talking exclusively to Classic Rock, bassist/vocalist Doug Pinnick said: “This could be the next thing we do. We like the idea of doing the whole of that record [the band's second, released in 1989] with a great light show, as part of something we’d call An Evening With King’s X. It wouldn’t be a full-blown tour, playing every hell-hole for three months. But we’d select specific, quality venues, make it special for the fans.”
The trio – Pinnick, guitarist Ty Tabor and drummer Jerry Gaskill – are also preparing both a live DVD and studio album.
“We’re editing a show we did in London for release as a DVD next year. Then we’ll think about going into the studio. What I’d love to do is get in a producer who’ll really push us and demand more from the band. Too often we’ve had producers who’ve just said: ‘You guys are great. Just do what you do.’ But I wanna get back to the situation where someone really drives us to deliver.
“I don’t wish to return to the days of Sam Taylor [the band's original producer/manager], because he was more like a coach, both encouraging and blasting us. I’m too old for that. But we don’t want the next album to be comfortable and easy.”

In the past, Jacob Hansen has expressed interest in producing King’s X. They should get in touch with him (or vice versa).
Music, music, I hear music, music over my head….
This is really interesting good news. Saw them at Wolverhampton this year, before the london gig that will be the DVD. Stunning band live. Love em. Yeah, I’d try to see that Gretchen show, sounds good. Though Dogman and stuff from KING’SX and Faith, Hope Love is more my fave material. Legendary band, deserving much more respect and ackownledgement.
