"Black Black Heart" Mudgirl 1994-1999 In 1994 Bingham left Me Mom & Morgentaler and moved to Vancouver where she formed the solo project Mudgirl. Her moniker Mudgirl was chosen based on "the title of a short story she wrote about a waif made of mud," intended for children. She stated, "Mudgirl is an extension of myself where I get to be cartoony and a bit surreal." In 1996 Kim released her debut five-song EP "First Book" which included three radio hits "This Day”, “Adjusted” and “Contact”. KIM BINGHAM PRESS KIT | 2 www.kimbingham.com The Kim Band 1999-2006 After 5 years as a Mudgirl, Kim realized that, as the driving force behind her musical project, she could put her name out front and decided to change the name of her 4 collective to "The Kim Band". Under this moniker, Kim released the successful album "Girlology" (2001) produced by Steven Drake (The Odds, The Tragically Hip). The album's concept, "stemmed from Bingham's work on a website devoted to the mind-boggling science of trying to figure out girls." and features more the radio singles “What A Drag”, “Valentine’s Day” and “Quel Dommage”, her French version of “What A Drag” that reached No.1 on French-Canadian radio charts. Collaborations with David Usher, Nelly Furtado and Bran Van 3000.

In December 2019, “Beppe Green” garnered the #5 position of the Top 100 Songs of the year from Bombshell Radio.In fall 2020, after an unexpected break in content creation and release due to international lockdowns and COVID-19, Kim is back with the release of a new video for the song “Sweet Irene’. www.kimbingham.com S W E E T I R E N E Why this song? "Important to shine light on the fact that you can breathe life into existing content" - Kim Bingham - Sweet Irene was originally recorded in Los Angeles in 2010, as part of the production of Kim Bingham's album “UP!”. She worked with producer John Kastner, who brought in a crew of musicians to record: Gene Trautmann (ex-QOTSA) on drums, Jason Falkner (Beck, Jellyfish) on various instruments. Chris Thorn (Blind Melon) engineered and Mathias Schneeberger (Masters of Reality, Burning Brides, Kyuss) mixed the track. Mathias has since become a friend of Kim and a regular collaborator on her recordings since those sessions. Presented for the first time as a single and with a brand new video in 2020, "Sweet Irene" is a warm-up to Bingham's next single, a new song called “Charade”, to be released later this year. Video credits The video for Sweet Irene came from an idea by director Jolyon White (based in London, UK) to do a video using only IG filters.

Travis’ vocals are often compared to Nina Hagen and Kate and Cindy of the B52’s. Live the band puts on an explosive show. Sumo Princess has shared stages with Juliette Lewis, Alain Johannes, Sweethead, Mojave Lords, and is touring in May of 2019 with The Meat Puppets to support their first full length “When an Electric Storm” (5/8/19 release date: Ruined Vibes) In 2018 Sumo Princess released two 7” singles “You Will Break/ Sumo Princess” and “Star Spangled Banner/ Tinsel Man”.

Travis says: “A lot of this music is my reaction to being a hired gun for so long. I just got sick of being appropriate and tastefully restrained.
