Luke Schmaltz

Band, MX
Singer / Musician

Vocalist, Guitarist & Writer, originally from New Mexico, now resides in Denver, CO where he fronts King Rat. Founded in 1995 King Rat worked they way up playing their own brand punk and rock & roll taking little inspiration and paving the way for them self in doing so the built a strong foundation that still supports our scene today. Having been a main staple of the rock and punk communities for so long (several compilation contributions, 1 ep, a music video, 7 full length albums and a live album that featured a bonus compilation of local acts covering song from throughout their 20 year career) they signed to a bigger label and released their 10th album to a wider audience. And they are showing no signs of slowing down, or giving up. He has been a long time contributor to Modern Drunkard Magazine, and does some freelance writing when he can or wants to. He has also worked as a bartender for many years, at one point he owned his own bar, eventually he sold his bar and recorded a solo album, mostly stuff he had written that didn't fit what his band was doing at the time. He is still playing shows solo and with King Rat.
