King Apparatus was a Canadian third wave ska band, active in the early 1990s.[1] Formed in 1987 in London, Ontario and later based in Toronto,[2] the band's lineup varied over its lifetime, including vocalist Chris Murray, guitarists Sam Tallo, Paul Ruston, J. C. Orr and Paul McCulloch, bassist Mitch Girio, organists Mark LeBourdais and Aleks Dmitrovic, conga player Greg Clancy, saxophonist Bruno Hedman, and drummers Brian Christopher, Dave Kennedy and Mike Southern.[3] Their style was strongly influenced by late 1970s 2-Tone ska,[4] although it introduced a heavier guitar attack than traditional ska.[5]
