Sounds Like: Evil Emil & King Kongo Cobras has their own unique sound, and is hardly compareable with anythingelse. You can tell that the band sure has been influenced by a lot of different stuff, but their sound is quite original.
The band has been playing together for so long that nobody can tell for sure when the start took place. Some people say 10 years other says more or less, a good guess should be that the truth lies somewhere in between.
EEKKC does shows in bars, clubs and festivals mostly. If you get the opportunity the check them out live, I can assure you that it is an experience you will remember. Some people actually get stucked in some-kind-of crazy zydeco-trance a phenomenon which is quite amusing to watch - if you and your drink is at distant level from the person in trance.
Also Check out their Webpage at: www.evilemil.se for more sharp sounds and pics.
Cheers.
