Smokstik is a St. Louis- based original music group featuring Kingvegas on the Warr Guitar (a unique 12-stringed instrument enabling him to play bass, guitar and synth parts simultaneously), vocals and other stuff (sometines including drums). Smokstik has released two albums including “Bugs” in 1998 and “2″ in 2010 as well as releasing a few singles including “Fill Me Up”, "Money Tree", "The 500 Song", "The Shameless Smokstik Plug Song", "Running Things", and “Corn Cob Bob”.
Smokstik was born in Boston, MA in 1995 and relocated to St. Louis, Mo. in 2001. Drummers over the years have included Hillary Koogler (Bugs), Dave Westner, Troy Velazquez and Joe Meyer (2). Smokstik has performed many shows from the Midwest to the East Coast over the years. We're hoping that the COVID-19 crisis will ease in 2021 so that we can get back on stage and perform safely in public once again. In the meantime we've been releasing new material and and finding creative ways to promote Smokstik in the midst of a devastating global health crisis.
"What kind of music is this? Well, imagine a bicep that's been injected with about 100 CD's of a battery-acid peyote cocktail and that's your visual. This is powerful stuff. Meaty/ Skating through a spectrum that runs from vintage Black Sabbath/Rage Against the Machine/Suicical Tendencies through to, believe it or not, licking of jazz and funk. But all with a trademark force not usually found in those latter forms."
