Mpls: King Tuff at Turf Club (May 12, 2026)
May 12 @ 6:00 pm
King Tuff at Turf Club (May 12, 2026)
Vermont’s King Tuff (Kyle Thomas) returns to the Turf Club on May 12, 2026. His latest MOO is out now on his new label MUP Records via Thirty Tigers.
King Tuff
We previously saw King Tuff in April 2023 and said, “It’s the final stretch for Vermont’s King Tuff. After spending over a month on the road, the band looks like seasoned road warriors (but still impeccably dressed – even in Wizard costume as Kyle would wear near the end of their set). King Tuff is basically Kyle Thomas, who writes and record all the songs for King Tuff’s music. When not in Tuff, he’s the singer/guitarist for Witch, and also one of the all-star Ty Segall’s backing band The Muggers, which we saw in Mar 2016, and wrote, “Before we talk about Ty’s exceptional musical output, we have talk about his all-star supergroup The Muggers. As we previously mentioned, his band consisted of King Tuff’s Kyle Thomas (dressed in an orange jumpsuit), singer/guitarist Mikal Cronin, Cairo Gang’s Emmett Kelly, and Wand’s Cory Hanson and Evan Burrows. With only a few dates on this current tour, the band sounded incredibly tight and well-rehearsed (even when they were improvising on stage).””
