Welcome back to TALES FROM THE SPOTLIGHT. Living in this city and working on its stages is an experience like no other. In Issue #1, we heard from David Tatlock of The Soul Juice Band. His take on the experience is both shared and wholly unique.
Today’s entry focuses on pop culture icon Mario Barth and the band ABOUT KINGS. They’re the type of group you’d expect to see in biker bars and small honky tonks. When touring throughout Europe, ABOUT KINGS packs stadiums and arenas. But in hometown Las Vegas, the crowds are much smaller.
On October 18th, ABOUT KINGS gave a free performance at Treasure Island Las Vegas. Their appearance at Gilley’s Saloon and Dance Hall received minimal local press (VEGAS 411 covered it for our readers), once again demonstrating the ironies of being a Vegas-based entertainment entity.
