The Kingpins (Canadian band)

During their ten-year reign, the band toured extensively in Canada, the U.S., France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, and Japan.

The group formed in 1994 by founding members of the Kingpins: Eric 'Boum Boum' Boulanger on drums, Jordan Swift on bass, Ian 'Hot Tub' Hodkinson on organ, and Lorraine Muller on alto saxophone (later given the nickname "The Queen of Ska" by Bobby Beaton, she went on to play tenor and baritone saxes, and eventually became the lead singer.)

Before the release of Plan of Action Muller was primarily responsible for playing baritone saxophone and singing vocals on a few songs.

The band also experimented with different stylistic fusions, mixing ska with various other musical genres, including new wave and breakbeat.

In concert, Lo and the Magnetics occasionally played songs that were released under the Kingpins' name, though they referred to them as "covers".
