Of Cabbages and Kings is an American Noise rock band from Chicago, Illinois. Its name is a quote from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass.

Formed from the ashes of the Bag People in 1985, the band's original lineup consisted of Algis Kizys (bass, vocals), Carolyn Master (guitar, keyboards, vocals) and Ted Parsons (drums, vocals). However, Kizys and Master were the core of the band, remaining the only consistent members throughout its existence. In 1988, Ted left to focus on his work with the band Prong and was replaced by Rich Hutchins. Due to obligations with other bands, Of Cabbages and Kings rarely had time to tour and disbanded in the early nineties.
The band's sound has been described as a "highly visceral attack" that is "founded on a vivid technical mastery owing little to the commonly revered tenets of speed and/or flash, instead conjuring a brutal, primal power and intensity virtually unmatched in modern music."[1]
