King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys

**King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys** are a British jump blues and swing band known for their high-energy live shows and retro flair. Formed in the late 1980s, the group channels the spirit of 1940s and ’50s rhythm and blues with a modern twist, blending horns, rollicking piano, and charismatic vocals. Led by the larger-than-life frontman King Pleasure (a stage name nodding to the classic jazz singer), the band dons sharp suits and delivers toe-tapping rhythms inspired by legends like Louis Jordan and Wynonie Harris. Their sound is a raucous mix of humor, swagger, and danceable grooves, earning them a cult following among fans of vintage American roots music.

Over the years, the band has built a reputation as a must-see live act, tearing up stages at festivals and iconic venues like London’s Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club (captured on their *Live at Ronnie Scott’s* album). Releases like *Let Em Roll* and *Smack Dab In The Middle* showcase their knack for reviving jump blues classics while adding their own cheeky British charm. With a discography that includes rowdy live recordings and studio albums like *This Is It*, King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys remain a joyful throwback to the golden age of rhythm and blues, proving that good-time music never goes out of style.
