:"For other uses, see King Bee."King Bee was a band formed in Portland, Oregon in 1976 and consisted of Fred Cole on vocals and guitar, Mark Sten on bass, and Pat Conner on drums. Cole had sung and written songs for bands such as The Lollipop Shoppe and Zipper, but King Bee marked his debut as a guitarist. According to Cole's wife (and Conner's sister) Toody, the band initially sounded "grungy, rhythm and bluesy, swampy" but "happened to get a spot playing in Portland on the bill with The Ramones the first time they came through." King Bee was inspired by the high-energy punk sounds of The Ramones, and in 1978 released the low-fidelity single "Hot Pistol" on Cole's Whizeagle label. However, the band soon folded, and Cole's frustration with short-lived lineups led him to teach Toody how to play bass, leading to the formation of The Rats and later Dead Moon.
