History The Kings of Frog Island

THE KINGS OF FROG ISLAND from Leicester, England, were formed in 2003 by Mark Buteux, Roger "Dodge" Watson (Scum Pups) and Mathew Bethancourt (Cherry Choke, Josiah & The Beginning). Drawing on a collective passion for cult movie soundtracks and mammoth riffs the trio headed up three albums stashed full of heavy psych rock and fragile laments to love, life and the eternal sleep.

The Kings Of Frog Island 'I' 'II' and 'III' are truly rocket rides across the mountains of madness and beyond the big black. Many other musicians feature across the trilogy of albums: Matthew Day (Scum Pups), Gavin Searle, Julia Dream, Tony Heslop, Lee Madel Toner, Gavin Wright and Gregg Hunt (Cherry Choke & Obscure Ivresse).

Mathew Bethancourt left The Kings Of Frog Island in 2010 to concentrate on Cherry Choke. The remaining members of The Kings of Frog Island Mark Buteux Gavin Searle, Tony Heslop and Roger "Dodge" Watson are currently working on new recordings under the working title of Bull God.
