Suburban Noize Records "Koast To Koast" Tour Featuring (Hed) PE And Subnoize Souljz Hits The Social In Orlando, FL on July 16, 2006


California based hip-hop/punk rock hybrid The Kottonmouth Kings are prepared to add another jewel to their crown when
they kick off their US tour and hit The Social in Orlando, FL
July 16, 2006.

Both shows will be the first in support of their released album Koast to Koast, which hits stores June 6, 2006. Koast to Koast is the Kottonmouth Kings eighth studio album featuring 21 songs
of musical mayhem and finds the Kings at the top of their game and in the prime of their career.

For over a decade the Kottonmouth Kings have been reigning over their underground empire, which includes a highly successful independent record company Suburban Noize Records, clothing company SRH, and merchandise conglomerate. The band is an institution in the sub-culture
of American music.

Ignored at large by mainstream media outlets, the Kings popularity continues to thrive and defy odds, making them a massive independent success story. In a time where the music industry is desperately flailing in a downward spiral, the Kings continue to rack up impressive ticket and record sales and cultivate one of today's most loyal and dedicated grass roots following.

"Radio and mainstream media can choose to ignore the work we do and the impact we've made, but at the end of the day the people validate the music," says Kottonmouth Kings' founder and frontman Brad X. "We go around the world selling out venues in every city we visit. We've soundscanned well over a million records and the momentum is only building."

The Kottonmouth Kings oversee their successful, independent record label Suburban Noize Records, which markets and distributes the Kings as well as over 20 other acts including (hed)pe, Authority Zero, The legendary X Clan, Jada Pinkett Smith's Wicked Wisdom, Mower, OPM, Big B from A & E's
hit television series Inked, along with a host of others.

The Kottonmouth Kings also have one of the most trafficked music websites on the internet with over 200,000 unique hits a month. The Kings set industry standards by providing its following with free web pod casts, exclusive bonus downloads and streamlining capabilities.

Suburban Noize is in the developing stages of new software that will revolutionize the music industry. The bands popularity continues to swell despite its detractors.

The band is also involved in the vastly successful lifestyle clothing company SRH. The Kings continue to set trends both culturally and business-wise, setting new standards and redefining the meaning of the self empowered artist.

"The Kottonmouth Kings are more than just a band. They are a lifestyle movement. When the Kings come to town it is more than just a show. It is an event. That is why the Kings continue to sell out venues across the country every night of the week," says Ron Opaleski of the William Morris Agency.

In addition to their success within the music business, the Kings lent themselves to a number of causes and rallies and continue to incorporate activism as contributing members of the Peace and Freedom Movement. This year the Kings released a free interactive CD-ROM that contained Attorney Bruce Margolin's complete Marijuana guide to spread awareness on the drug
laws in 51 states. In addition, the band helped organize a
pro-cannabis protest of the Supreme Court's ruling on medicinal
Marijuana that produced media coverage from the likes of Fox News, Sirius Satellite Radio and Hustler Magazine.

For their pro-cannabis efforts, the Kottonmouth Kings were recently awarded "The Golden Lung Freedom Fighter" Award by NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) in March 2006. To add icing to the cake, High Times Magazine named the Kottonmouth Kings their 2006 "Band of The Year."

The Kings just returned from a triumphant sold out tour of Japan. A live concert DVD is due out late summer titled "The Joint is on Fire" It is the latest in a string of popular DVD releases. The Kings just dropped Joint Venture in November 2005, an 18 song CD with a 25 song DVD which contains the complete video anthology of the Kings and remains a top seller. The Kottonmouth Kings are premiering a video release on April 20, 2006 at 4:20pm on the worldwide web the same day pre-orders are available for "Koast to Koast." The Kings also recently shot videos for the songs "Everybody Move" and "Never Stop" which will be released soon after.

After over a decade of developing and cultivating a massive world wide movement, the Kings are poised and battle tested to evolve to new levels of uncharted territories. With the Koast to Koast tour set to kick off on the West Coast in June and commencing in late summer, the Kottonmouth Kings' eighth studio album promises to be a cult classic further cementing the band's legacy.
