Legendary guitar-stylist Kid Congo Powers (The Gun Club, The Cramps, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds), along with cohorts bassist Kiki Solis (Knife In The Water) and guitarist Mark Cisneros (Deathfix), are happy to announce select East Coast shows. Sitting in on drums on this tour is James Canty (The Make Up, Nation of Ulysses, Ted Leo & The Pharmacists.). The band's most recent album, 'Haunted Head', is their third for In The Red Records and is available now. A new album is set for release later this year.
"Kid Congo's career is one for the (music) history books." Westword
"For as much as Powers' legend has been cemented in punk's history books, he's not out to promote a nostalgia trip; instead, he's interested in sharing new music. His current group, the Pink Monkey Birds, is still somewhat informed by the spirit of the early punk scene in which Powers came of age...he can't get over how cool it is when people come up to him after one of his live sets to tell him how important his music has been to them." OC Weekly
"Haunted Head is yet another classic from a true veteran of the garage rock game, proving that such raucous fun can never die – at least in the hands of a master!" KCRW
"Kid Congo continues his ju-ju spooked, surf-whammied, mystically debauched brand of rock ‘n roll, infusing sawed off, minimalist guitar riffery with a whiff of the supernatural." Blurt
"Brewing together garage rock, horror punk, surf, broken blues, and sounds more exotic still..." Washington City Paper
