Brides Of Kong! Playing that sort of cream that turns granny's hair white since 2005.
The first ALBUM! Simian Songbook. 11 tracks of pure rock genius. (So say our mums)
NOW ON SALE AT
New material has been recorded and is being lovingly mixed as we speak. It will be delivered in audio-shell called 'If You Ain't Got The Cream' later in the year.
Early fossils of Brides Of Kong dating from the Ediacaran Period were recently discovered, giving us a picture of a simple but immaculate rock structure that was happy to lie on the ocean bed and wait for amoebic riffs to float by. However, subsequent comparison with the fossil record has revealed a steep evolutionary curve from this point on, which has resulted in the current generation of Kong, a more complex and mysterious organism that has developed the ability to move from one room to another, use low flights of stairs, and in some instances even have keyboards on songs. Top noggin-jockeys postulate that this strain of Kong, with a largely predator-free environment, and the wind blowing the wrong way, could easily rise up and strangle all life from this world.
Time passes. A band, a legend, is born.........
At the unfortunate demise of the Brass Warrior, the Brides of Kong were left without a bass player. So the the remaining members put together their collective genius and decided that the way forward was not to audition for an inferior replacement that could not live up to the greatness of such a mighty man, but to create a being strong enough to carry on the mighty mechanical legacy. And so it was that Mr Mofo Rising, Dr Vodka Martini, and Dr Victor Von Moshkinstein(Ant) gathered in a dark basement located in Londons Whitechapel, beneath an Olde Worlde Pub called 'The Spitoon' and set about their dark dealings. After a great deal of sweat and lightning, he was created........................
SILENT DAVE!
