I was very disappointed to not have seen King Tuff perform onstage in the buff. I really wanted to see hottie King Tuff up there, butt naked, while singing the lyrics "My ding-a-ling...I want you to play with my ding-a-ling! So the question arises as to whether King Tuff and his band's show totally blowed because they were all clothed.
When I saw King Tuff and his band mates play (with their musical instruments, of course) at Chicago's hip and flatteringly lit nightclub, The Subterranean, I fancied all of their duds enough. But what I liked even more was their sound and watching King Tuff dance along while he sang and stroked his guitar "Jazijoo?"
King Tuff and each of his band members were easy on the eyes and had a unique sparkle, "like a diamond in the ruff." King Tuff and his and his band's good looks and music, very well may have the Queen of England consider investing in a much needed push-up bra.
Getting back to King Tuff's music, his fast rhythm section and turbo speed fingering of his guitar, and playing what is known as power pop rock, almost instantly made most of the crowd thrash and head bang. Also mind jarring, is that The Head banger's Ball lasted throughout at least 95 percent of King Tuff's hour long show!
King Tuff's songs are also so easy to get your mind and body fully into due to his clever, straight-to-the point and generally relatable tunes. Deservingly, the one and only Rolling Stone Magazine gave King Tuff's album "Moving On" a rave review. His newest album entitled "King Tuff" and additional albums of his have received thumbs up critiques, too.
Another interesting thing about King Tuff is how he and his band members met, they did so on the Fourth of July at The Malcom X Academy in Detroit. King Tuff was looking like his usual self as he walked down the halls of the Malcom X Academy." Magic Jack pulled up on a motorcycle, riding it left handed with his bass guitar hanging from his right arm" and sporting the barefoot look mighty fine. Kenny showed in a van that looked as though it was on it's last leg. "Drums were stacked in the back on the top of a shredding sofa, complete with a coffee table and a thermos full of God knows what!" "Captain Cox is a prodigy engineer" who was spotted trying to repair a mixing console "with a flash light between his teeth and soldering a gun in his hand (www.kingtuffworld.com.")

King Tuff and his band's performance at The Subterranean proved to me they don't have to be in their Birthday suits to be largely, pleasingly stimulating. King Tuff and his band mates put on fun shows and create immensely impressive albums. Yes, yes, yes, King Tuff and his band truly have the right stuff.
