Vocalist Almir is the former frontman of Adelaide champions Ice on Mercury. Guitarist Chris has been a mainstay in the local cover scene. Bassist Stew cut his teeth with underground sluggers Carcosa, while drummer Louis emerged fully formed from the London punk scene.King Locust has been a chance for these four rad dads to wipe the slate clean and write songs for the sake of songwriting.
