Welcome to
King Bees Live! The Ultimate Blues Brothers Tribute.
When Canadian comic DAN AYKROYD was auditioning for tv's SATURDAY
NIGHT LIVE in the 1970s he would regularly meet heavy metal fan
JOHN BELUSHI. One day Dan dropped the needle on a record called
"Straight up" by Canadian legend's the DOWNCHILD BLUES BAND and it
knocked John out. Combining the high energy blues and R&B sounds
with the pork pie hat and glasses look of John Lee Hooker a
concept for a live band formed. After convincing the brass at
Saturday Night Live to take the Blues to the live TV stage Dan and
John decided to perform the first show dressed as GIANT BEES. |

They were reluctant to give away
the suit look of 'The Blues Brothers' right away. Soon after
this show, their album "Briefcase full of blues" went Platinum
and the movie 'THE BLUES BROTHERS' became one of the biggest
cult classics of all time and a huge commercial success. KING
BEES LIVE pays tribute to the origins of JAKE & ELWOOD
BLUES, THE
BLUES BROTHERS, the suit, shades, and insane dance moves
but its much more then that. |

KING BEES LIVE also features
hilarious characters from the Saturday Night Live days who
like magic appear from the Twilight Zone and often land right
into your lap. KING BEES LIVE are not a common Vegas copy act.
When this tight 8 piece act hits the stage they ARE the "Blues
Brothers", they ARE "Sumari Guy", they ARE the "Giant Killer
Bees" and other amazing tributes to the nostalgic characters
of those glorious days. KING BEES LIVE was created to perform
at corporate events, casinos, and festivals but also works
very well with children at daytime events. For adults the show
can be gritty enough but it can also be a blast for the whole
family. All in all, the age doesn't really matter when it
comes to musical talent and unparallel showmanship. Look out
Canada, USA, and the World, JAKE & ELWOOD are back ! |
