King Biscuit Time release their Black Gold album on 15 May on No Style Records.
When the Beta Band broke-up, a psychedelic people's nation mourned their death. Now they have cause for celebration with the rebirth of Beta Band frontman Steve Mason under the guise of King Biscuit Time. Steve Mason is Alive; Long live King Biscuit Time!
Says Alan McGee: “...if John Lennon was thirty-three and alive he would be making music like the political acoustic hip hop of King Biscuit Time aka Steve Mason ... he wouldn't be rewriting 'Across the Universe'.
And the other thing that people miss out about John Lennon-is that he was a political animal like Steve Mason. When Steve made an anti-George Bush comment whilst opening up for Radiohead in the United States ... the CIA followed him around for the next few shows."
