Madrid’s unstoppable rock force King Sapo is storming back to the Costa del Sol for a one-night-only assault on Louie Louie, Estepona’s iconic live rock temple, on Friday, November 21.
Known for bridging the raw, riff-soaked glory of the 1970s with the gritty, unpolished fire of the 1990s, the band returns hotter than ever following the release of their blistering second album, El Dios de America.
King Sapo – cult band to cult following
Formed in the underground clubs of Madrid in 2022, King Sapo, led by the volcanic-voiced Jesús Trujillo, has rapidly evolved from a cult favourite into one of Spain’s most electrifying live acts. Their sound is a molten cocktail of Black Sabbath’s doom-laden noise, Nirvana’s grunge fury, and the streetwise swagger of Spanish legends like Rosendo, Leño, and M Clan. With a modern, battering-ram rhythm section and production that keeps the edges sharp, yet dirty, they’ve carved a niche as the “rocanrolero” rebels of a new generation.
Critics agree: Mondosonoro declared them “the dirty, sweaty rock revival Spain didn’t know it needed,” while RockFM has kept singles in heavy rotation, with “El Dios de America” cracking the Top 20 Nacional. Their debut EP Cien Años de Soledad (2023) may have introduced them, but El Dios de América has cemented their status as a live juggernaut.
Touring with latest EP El Dios de America
Their latest album, El Dios de America, produced by Carlos Raya (Fito & Fitipaldis, M Clan), has been celebrated as a milestone of Spanish rock. Tracks like the anthemic “Rocanrolero”, the psychedelic-tinged “Veneno en la Piel”, and the pulverising title cut “El Dios de América” showcase a band firing on all cylinders—lyrics tackling American cultural dominance, personal rebellion, and working-class defiance, all delivered in fierce, narrative-driven Spanish.
