King Size was a Rock 'n' roll band in the Gävle area in the mid 80:s. The band started up in 1985 by the singer Chrille and bassplayer Lars. They had recently ended the band Dark Horse and was looking for a glam band. They coldn't find any, and decided to start one of their own. Another guy, Urrke T phoned and asked about the band, and a drummer was in! How to find a guitarrist then? Well, I know one, said Urrke, and Flobbe was in too. Shortly after, one more guitarrist was added to the band, Tomas "Musse" Musial. One single was recorded whit this band; 'I Love London / Nightlife Living'. Musse left the band in 1987 somtime, and the other guy´s rocked on. In the end of 1987, our next singel was recorded; 'I Love You / No No No'
During the next few years, King Size recorded more than one cassette single, some good and some not that good. Today, it´s not easy to get a hold of a copy of the singles nor the cassettes. The band stood up for Rock ´N`roll until january 1991, when we left the stages in Sweden for good. But... Re-Union gig in 1993 at "Club Electric"!!! Big Success! 100:s of fans showed up!. Re-Union gig again in 1998, with Heavy Metal friends Wang Dang! This time we made a compilation CD to celibrate the occasion; 1998: Shit Happens CD Compilation - KS 005 19 tracks from the past. Demos, singles, Studio Out takes and worse... And finally, at christmas time 2005, King Size did a short (5 tracks) gig at "Club Monster" in Gävle!
