![]() ![]() I spent the whole summer after that US tour and releasing that album doing nothing because I was so tired. It was influenced by the idea of losing a sense of childlike faith and a lot of regret that comes from that, and the journey to fight for it and return to it. What inspired you to write that and how long did that process take?Ĭhad: We wrote and released the album in about nine months last year. All of our other band names were too silly to really be real band names so we kept it. Ruth: Where did the name Kings Kaleidoscope come from?Ĭhad: A friend gave it to us completely randomly. Kings Kaleidoscope has always been 'Chad and friends' and I've got a group of 12 to 15 musicians that come in and out of the band, depending on the tour and where we are. We've done that for videos a lot or when I was a worship director at a church and Kings Kaleidoscope was pseudo-forming, we'd have between five and twelve people.

We post stuff on Instagram and Twitter and people come and we kind of can't believe it. ![]() We find a venue, we rent it, we book our own flights and we just bet that people will come.

We've come here and we're hoping to go to Brazil this year.

I felt like I could really connect with them tonight in a powerful way. I felt almost vulnerable but in a good way with the crowd. We flew in, landed this morning, changed my guitar strings in the taxi on the way to the hotel, lay down for two hours, came here. Now they've just released a documentary 'The Adventures of Zeal' offering fans a behind the scenes peak at the journey behind their album 'Zeal'.Ĭhad caught up with freelance writer and blogger Ruth Clemence after their London gig to find out more about the tour, music and where his faith fits into it all.Ĭhad: This show was a whirlwind is how I would describe it. With an engaging set of songs from their latest and previous albums, interspersed with powerful moments of honesty from frontman Chad Gardner, Kings Kaleidoscope and the enthusiasm of the crowd made it an unforgettable night.
