 The Damned 

Unwanted by Lu or Jon Moss in The Edge, Captain Sensible first off dallied with Dutch band The Softies and played on their single Jet Boy Jet Girl originally by Elton Motello (originally in Bastard with Bryan James). King in fact lasted all of two months from June 1978 to August 1978, played at most 5 gigs and featured as its personnel:

Dave Berk  - Drums (borrowed from the Moped's)
Kym Bradshaw - Bass (ex Saints & Lurkers)
Henry Badowski - Vocals & Keyboards (ex Chelsea)
Captain Sensible - Guitar & Vocals

The band however did record a John Peel Session broadcast on 20.7.78 featuring Antipope (revived for The Damned), Jet Boy  Jet Girl, My Baby Don't Care and Baby Sign Here With Me.

By September 1978 The Damned were back together and King were no more.
