“Kings of Pain” is the premium Police Tribute Band, based out of Gainesville, Florida. Started in Spring 2007 merely to enter a cover band contest, K.O.P. ended up capturing the 1st place trophy along with an instant fan base. Realizing their potential, the band decided to become a permanent addition to the Gainesville music scene. Now, Kings of Pain has branched out into multiple cities across Florida and hopes to entertain YOU one day soon. Kings of Pain does not conform to one specific era of The Police; the collaboration of music is derived from each individual album, blended with the energetic dynamics of documented live performance. Kings of Pain also consists of the special 4th member; a keyboardist who completes authentic textures of the more produced albums, thus enabling Kings of Pain to replicate the exact sound millions of people have become enamored by in the last 20 years.

Kings of Pain is:

Dylan Samore as STING!
Jon Bush as ANDY SUMMERS!
Chris Chaires as STEWART COPELAND!
and Marc Feldman as BILLY PRESTON!
