MFC Chicken & King Salami Announce Mega Merger to form Supergroup

Long-term Dirty Water Records bands King Salami and the Cumberland Three and MFC Chicken have announced their decision to merge into one “Supergroup” to be known as Chick King and the Cumberland Fried Chicken. While an unusual move, it is not unprecedented; in the words of MFC Chicken frontman Spencer Evoy, “We have all seen the runaway success of what McFly and Busted have done with their combined band McBusted and we think it will work for us too.”

For woodwind fans, it will mean a welcome return of the saxophone to King Salami’s catalogue of songs as well as the addition of a keyboard. King Salami himself commented, “While the sound of MFC Chicken’s frat rock is totally different from our hi-tempo ‘50s r&b, we are both party bands, as well as good friends, so we know this is going to work. And maybe now Spencer can write some double entendre songs about salami instead of always writing about chicken!” On a serious note, both bands have a small-but-eager fan base in North London’s nearby Hasidic Jewish community and feel a more “Kosher” name would increase their chances of penetration.

Both bands’ final individual performances will be at a private party on Sunday 1 May in London but touring plans for Chick King and the Cumberland Fried Chicken will be announced shortly.
