Gregg HuntThe Kings of Frog Island are a stoner rock collective drawing from psychedelic, stoner, and retro rock traditions. The Kings of Frog Island formed in Leicester, England (hence Frog Island) in 2003, as a collaboration[1] between guitarist and producer Mark Buteux along with R. "Doj" Watson, a founding member of the grunge/punk group Scum Pups[2] and Mat Bethancourt, of the rock bands Josiah and The Beginning. The band released their debut, self titled album with German-based Elektrohasch Records[3] in 2005. Work on the debut album involved some input from guest artists associated with members of the band's musical past, most notably, Matthew (Midge) Day of Scum Pups.[4] Mathew Bethancourt left The Kings Of Frog Island in 2010 to concentrate on Cherry Choke, while Mark Buteux and Roger ‘Doj’ Watson continue work on tracks for a fourth album with The Kings of Frog Island.
