SXSW Interview | Record Collecting with Andy Noble from Milwaukee’s Kings Go Forth

Yesterday, before the Kings Go Forth show at the Muzzle of Bees showcase, I got a chance to talk to Andy Noble, founder of Kings Go Forth, about his first love – record collecting. While he is not playing with Kings Go Forth at SXSW, he will be checking out record shops to look for some wax. We talked about how he got started in record collecting, his first record, rules of record collecting and more. Andy also tells some great stories while searching for that rare record.
“Some of the world’s best funk and soul that was ever produced or ever cut to plastic was done in the state (Texas)…” – Andy Nobel
