About King Missile
Centered around the absurdist mental ramblings, part-poem/part-rant, of John S. Hall, King Missile took an oblong path to unlikely, if brief, pop success. Formed in 1980s New York City, Hall quickly found a devoted audience for his quirky revelations delivered over lo-fi post-punk beats. Signed to Kramer’s Shimmydisc label, the act released a pair of underground classics. Atlantic picked them up, and in 1993, they scored one of the more improbable chart hits ever with the wry story-song “Detachable Penis,” off the act’s most successful record, HAPPY HOUR. Never meant for the mainstream, the band inched back to music’s edge, but Hall’s sometimes disjointed, always fantastical observations continued to draw an audience for various incarnations of King Missile for decades.
