BIO. (the short version)
KANG began their live career in much the same way as they perform onstage, a crazed whirlwind of excitement, improv, and action.
It was early January 2007 when the Sydney four-piece hit the stage playing for the first time in front of friends and punters, with their first ever support band Lex Lucian, on tour from England. There were no plans for a follow up show, not until the English band said they were impressed by the boys and booked them to play 5 more shows over the next 2 weeks.
After the excitement and crazyness of KANG's first ever mini-tour, the boys have gone on to release their own home recorded Demo, which again, to the amazement and suprise of all, has sold over 200 copies already, and has been released through Regal Records and MGM green.
The live shows have been just as exciting with their light-hearted, energetic take on punk rock, inspiring punters from the age of 15 to 50 to dance, mosh or, at the very least, sing along. Over the past year the boys have played over 40 shows in and around Sydney, including sellout nights at the HARP and Padstow Hotels, headlining at the Annandale, and a charity gig which raised over $2000 for the Sydney Childrens Hospital at Randwick.
Their music is packed with energy, hijinx and satire and if you've heard the 6 track EP, then you ain't heard nothing 'til you see them live!
It's time. Grab you're best grundge t-shirt, your best punk hairdo, and dont forget your artsy rock scarf! Get down to the next KANG show. You might be baffled, you might be confused, BUT YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!
