King Creosote is the name used for current solo releases of the musician Kenny Anderson, formerly lead singer of Skuobhie Dubh Orchestra and Khartoum Heroes.

A popular misconception is that this is the name of the band featuring him and not just his stage name. However, at live shows, he will usually introduce his band members by their similar pseudonyms - some fellow Fence Collective artistes such as “The Pictish Trail” (aka Johnny Lynch), On The Fly and Uncle Beesly, to name but the usual line-up.

There are 5 albums out and about: Kenny and Beth’s Musakal Boat Rides (2003); Rocket D.I.Y. (2005); KC Rules OK (2005); Bombshell (2007) and Flick The V’s (2009).

You can find a full discography of his close to 40 self released CD-Rs here

I saw him along with other Fence Collective members at GreenMan festival in Wales in the summer - He is just as amazing playing live in big venues as he is in his smaller solo gigs! Now that's talent imho!

Does anyone have his version of "Nothing Compares To You", and would you in that case be so kind and share it to me? I love that song of his

When he's good he's sublime... such a fantastic knack for the appropriate, and a voice that makes me want to hug him and kill him in equal measure. KC you penned the tunes that made my last couple of years - and if only you'd swing by here when I could come see you then I could claim my musical life complete...
