Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds: Rare As A Yeti...
Any Kid Congo fans in the house? "Legend" is an accurate assessment of the man, Congo having taken part in The Cramps, co-founded The Gun Club and been a part of Nick Cave's band of Bad Seeds. He and his current band, The Pink Monkey Birds, will be touring (no Philadelphia dates, unfortunately) and releasing a new album, Gorilla Rose. Information can be found below.

Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds announce East Coast tour!
The legendary Kid Congo Powers, co-founder of the Gun Club, guitarist for The Cramps and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, will be releasing his new album with his group Kid Congo & the Pink Monkey Birds this spring. Titled Gorilla Rose, the album follows in the footsteps of the band's 2009 Dracula Boots with more ram-charged boogaloo, sleazy psychedelia and Chicano garage rock. In The Red records is gearing up for the new album by releasing a series of oddball limited edition vinyl-only records by the band. The first of these releases dropped this week in the form of the "Five Greasy Pieces" subscription series. This is a very limited edition (250 of each) series of five different singles each containing two brand new tracks. Starting in January In The Red will be issuing one of these a month. The fifth and final single in the series will come with a handsome box in which all five will be housed. The only way to obtain these singles is to buy a subscription on the In The Red website. In March In The Red will be issuing a live LP by the band titled Live At The Prom which will be another vinyl-only limited edition release available exclusively online.
