Info
Along the way they met Jeff Harrigfeld, drummer and owner of the local record and music shop, and have been playing as a trio ever since. 'Beautiful Blackout' is about their compelling transition from city life to country living.
CMJ calls Diet Kong 'a unique, raw, and unpolished blend of spastic dance rock', and the Deli Magazine cites them as 'a stirring musical apparition, with Arcade Fire-like appeal'.

Bio
Singer/guitarist Keith Gladsyz and singer/visualist Jenn Penn left Brooklyn in 2009 for the Catskill Mountains to focus on keeping bees, raising horses, chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, farming, and above all, making music. They bought and transformed a winery into a living and recording space, and thus was born Farmlite Studio. Along the way they met Jeff Harrigfeld, drummer and owner of the local record and music shop, and have been playing as a trio ever since. Their new songs are about their compelling transition from city life to country living. CMJ calls Diet Kong 'a unique, raw, and unpolished blend of spastic dance rock', and the Deli Magazine cites them as 'a stirring musical apparition, with Arcade Fire-like appeal'. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/beautiful-blackout-ep/id395461836?uo=4" target="_blank"><img src="http://dietkong.com/myspace/Beautiful.Blackout.jpg" /></a><br /><strong>Beautiful Blackout</strong><br />click to download<br /><br /> -

Brendan O' Shea is releasing his third studio album called "Songs From A Tenement" and would love to see you all at Arlene's Grocery on the 28th. He will be playing with his band. Special guest on the night is Jenna Nicholls who will also be playing with her band. And a collection of some of New York's finest trad players are coming together to play and show their support to Brendan on his release. Tickets are available NOW! at The Scratcher if you would like to buy them before hand. The fun starts at 7pm Thanks to you all for your support!
