..Kong is not a name chosen by accident. It does not describe an effeminate collection of callow fuckers thrust together by a desire to look plucked or sound eager to please.
All are/were/shall be in other, perhaps more commercially viable bands, which is notable only because it fills out their biography and creates the impression of a deeper back-story, which becomes, by definition, massively interesting to idiots. Yes, Nancy was in Jane's Addiction, and Milicent founded ITV.
Kong's music, such as it is, takes all the risibly obnoxious elements of lots of very loud, credible bands, feeds it non-brand specific lager, then comes on it in its sleep.
In truth, they are difficult band to describe unless you're a music journalist, in which case you'd probably pick a large animal (elephant, dinosaur or a fantastical creature of myth) and put it in an unusual place (Middlesbrough) with predictably madcap results.
In summary - the first time I saw them play I felt a burning sensation on my arm and realised that I had developed eczema.
The album, 'Snake Magnet', will follow when somebody grows balls and fucking puts it out there.

...we're very busy people here at Mostly Toast!
Mostly Toast's main aim is to promote good music.
Whether it be by making the highest quality recordings of a band to be released into the public domain. Finding great venues for artists to perform their music live and ensuring that the sound at these gigs is always to the highest possible standard. Promoting bands that we work with via the Captain's Log and stand in slots on All FM. Or just selling merchandise for bands through the Mostly Toast online shop.
This is going to be amazing! 2 days of fantastic music on a beautiful site in the Lake District overlooking the southern shores of Lake Windermere, with a selection of excellent bands as chosen by us & the lovely people at Fell Foot Wood.
Passes for music and camping are a bargain at £16/person for the weekend or £9/day (vehicles are £2 per extra per night). Bookings with card payment must be made in advance by calling Barry at Fell Foot Wood on 015395 31014. There are only 170 spaces, so book early!
