BLING KONG Bio

Hello, children. Do you want to hear a story?

This story is about a band in Brooklyn that formed late one evening after too many beers, when grandiose ideas like incorporating three drummers, costumes, video projections and a singing cheerleader squad sounded right on the money. It’s the only kind of band that would befit a name like BLING KONG. For in this story, the name came first.

When the hangovers subsided, these friends gathered up a cast of characters to fill out the ten plus roles that it would take to turn BLING KONG into the kind of rock extravaganza that would soon be called "Sensory overload in the best way" by Jane Magazine and "Joyfully goofy party music...part Peaches, part Go-Go's, and part B-52's, seasoned with a hint of Judas Priest" by The Boston Globe.

Like any romantic relationship, the pom poms happily shook to the sound of party rock for awhile, until one day BLING KONG uttered those three little words… I WANT MORE.

But how could a band as deliciously over-the-top as BLING KONG possibly become more? Meetings were organized, dry-erase boards and sticky notes were employed, and before long BK had mapped out a plan of attack for their next incarnation:

BLING KONG II – A Choose Your Own (Mis)Adventure Rock Opera!

BKII has performed to audiences as far west as the Mississippi and as far north as Montreal. Live, BLING KONG asked amazed crowds to decide the fate of the hero and heroine of their epic adventure: a pair of lovebirds named Snakedawg and Baby Blue. Video projections behind the band illustrated the tale of these two lovers, who, bored with the daily repetition of being in love, seek out something more--only to fall into distressing situations at the hand of BLING KONG. Like the Choose Your Own Adventure stories of our youth, you get to determine the course of events, thus deciding the fate of BK’s set list. Instead of dry instructions to "Turn to page 42," the cheerleaders sing and shout at the decision points, enticing audiences with their options, and the sharply-dressed band follows wherever fans choose to go. The elaborate, tightly choreographed performance was as much art project as it was a rollicking rock show. The world had never before seen anything quite like BLING KONG.

The music of BKII is just as fun and ambitious as its story, ranging from ‘80s metal to dance rock, from girly pop to Queen-y rock opera. Reviewers compare the Kong to the B-52’s and AC/DC, often in the same breath. BLING KONG has played everything from loft parties to catered art galas, and has shared the stage with other high-energy bands like Art Brut, the Ponys, the Hold Steady, Eagles of Death Metal, Out Hud, Jason Forrest, and even punk literary icon Jim Carroll.

With the release of BKII, the Choose Your Own (Mis)Adventure Rock Opera is ready for private home consumption. Program the tracks in whatever way you like, and when your story ends with one or both of the protagonists dead on the side or the road, robbed blind, or sober and desperate, you get to go back and try again, experiencing new tales and different songs. On this album, the band harnesses the epic power of seven vocalists and three drummers to bring new levels of rock and roll indulgence to their recordings. And, of course, the lyrics are still just as smutty and hilarious as ever. Let’s get serious: when a couple breaks up looking for more, it’s usually more sad walks through the rain than hookers and blow and whipping it out on the dance floor. And really, who wants to dance to that?

BLING KONG II: You choose. They rock. You win.
