If you ever sat through a boring poetry reading and wished that the poets had a rock band playing behind them, then King Missile is for you. Because that’s exactly what they are. Poet John S. Hall and guitarist Dogbowl began King Missile as a duo, and they expanded too a band from there, but the poetry reading concept rarely wavered. Out of this band came classics like “Jesus Was Way Cool”, “Cheesecake Truck”, and “Gary & Melissa”. Dogbowl was gone after a short time, but Hall soldiered on. Happy Hour is the fifth King Missile album, and it may be their best outing. Musically, the band takes more chances than ever, and Hall’s mostly spoken poetry is delivered with a mischievous yet dry almost monotone that works a lot better than one would think.
The hit here was, of course, “Detachable Penis”, but there are other big winners here as well. “Martin Scorsese” is a hoot, and tracks like “(Why Are We) Trapped?” work well. It’s unfortunate that with a band like this, you find yourself constantly waiting for the comedy because their funnier material always seems to work, but the band’s more serious songs should be taken in as well. And even on those, Hall delivers them with the earnestness of that open mic poet that makes everything funny in its own right. King Missile is unlike any other band in this respect, and while they may not be for everyone, you should at least give their music a chance. There will be enough times over the course of Happy Hour that you’ll be glad you did. [First added to this chart: 12/03/2025]

interesting to see i'm not the only person here to include both brenda kahn's "epiphany in brooklyn" and kristen hall's "fact and fiction" in the same list :-)
