Rising Stourbridge stars Of Kings And Captains will be the latest high profile band to take
to moochers chequered stage on March 7th. The pop / rock outfit are rapidly gaining a loyal
following both locally and nationally and have received radio play on numerous stations
including BBC Radio, Absolute Radio and Kerrang. The summer of 2013 saw them support
Bon Jovi on the UK leg of the “Because We Can” tour, which saw them playing prestigious
venues such as Birmingham’s Villa Park, Manchester’s Etihad Stadium, Cardiff City Stadium,
Sunderland Stadium of light as well as Scotland’s national stadium, Hampden Park.
Support acts on the 7th will be Munkinpure who had a loyal following in their native South
Africa before relocating to the UK from Johannesburg to further their musical careers in
2010. Already veterans of the UK scene, they have gigs already under their belts at locations
such as the O2 Academy 1 as well as various UK music festivals. Opening the night will be
Shrewsbury band The Rainbreakers. Already well known around their home town, they are
receiving radio play nationally and have recently been signed by TMC Management.
Sarah Evans, Director at Moochers stated “Each of these bands are a headline act on their
own, so to have all three playing on the same bill is brilliant.”
She continued “Of Kings And Captains are a great band with a
very bright future ahead of them and we’re thrilled they are
headlining this night”.
The bands are the latest acts to take the stage at the venue
which is located on Stourbridge ring road. Since a change of
ownership in late 2013 the venue has used Friday shows to
showcase original bands & artists, both established and up and
coming.
