The Sun Kings, a Wellington, New Zealand rock band, have been hiding at the edge of the world – or if you believe Wellingtonians, the secret centre of the known universe – for about a decade now. They've been skulking around the Wellington music scene, stubbornly refusing to age or mature musically. As an indie rock outfit, their roots are firmly planted in the hallowed dirt of 90s rock, grunge, britpop, and brit-rock, because why fix what ain't broke, right? While staunchly claiming they eschew fame and fortune in favour of artistic integrity (or something), if fortune came their way, they'd be prepared to put up with a little fame.

The band are Claire Fraser (vocals), Andy Marsh (guitar and vocals), Steve Hughes (bass), Andy Galinski (guitar), and Matt Whimp (drums).
