About Me

Hello to all our peeps! My name is Ethan Buckler and we are KING KONG. We still exist! I started King Kong in the late eightys after I left Slint. I wanted to do something where I could let my freak flag fly and I'm still doing it. We have been through many incarnations. First as a three piece with me, Darren Rappa and Rich Schuler, then it expanded to include Amy Partin Rithchie, Craig Wagner, Todd Hildreth, Britt Walford, David Pajo, Johnny Machine, Willie MacLean, Ray Rizzo, and now our newest drummer, Peter Townsend. After the release of our upcoming album, "Buncha Beans" on March, 20, we will tour all over America with Mike Fellows to help fill out our unique sound.***THIS IS THE OFFICIAL KING KONG MYSPACE PAGE, DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED BY ETHAN BUCKLER***
