King Pari is like potato chips, popsicles, velcro, slinkies — joyful inventions born from happy accidents. Joe Paris Christensen and Cameron Kinghorn had been playing in the same Twin Cities scenes for years, but when Joe sent Cameron a new tune he’d whipped up on a tape machine, something clicked. “This sounds like how my brain feels,” Cameron said. That session grew into the first King Pari song, which set the band on a journey that included releases with Acrophase Records, People’s Potential Unlimited, and has recently culminated in the release of their debut album There It Goes on Stones Throw Records. The band’s Minneapolis funk pedigree anchors their music. Both Joe and Cameron played alongside some of Prince’s closest associates, and Joe’s previous band was among the last that Prince personally invited to play at Paisley Park. They’ve also been tapped into the national funk and jazz scenes from the beginning – King Pari’s first gig was opening for Kamasi Washington, before they’d even landed on a name. The band pairs a freewheeling, fun vibe with careful reflection. If listening to their music sounds like that moment after a rough patch when things are finally starting to go your way, it’s because that’s the spirit in which it was made. King Pari is always trying new things musically, but whenever they finish a song, there’s only one question: "Is this us?"
