Following the 19 April 2024 release of "That Delicious Vice", and just back from a wildly successful tour of Australia, Kid Congo & The PInk Monkey Birds today announce additional live shows for this Summer/Fall. Kid was also part of the "Old Punks" Focus Group with Fred Armisen and a wealth of other punk legends on a recently-aired episode of John Mulaney's Everybody's In LA.
“It's a new lineup,” landlord of the avant-garage Kid Congo Powers exclaims of the Pink Monkey Birds edition responsible for the fifth studio full-length of their 19-year recording career, That Delicious Vice, released April 19 on In The Red Records, the band’s home since 2009. “We've gone from a four piece to a three piece,” continues Kid, whose unique guitar style has been at the center of some of the most forward-thinking bands in punk and garage: The Gun Club, The Cramps, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and Knoxville Girls, to name a handful.
“Because Mark Cisneros (Des Demonas, Hammered Hulls) is playing guitar, sometimes we have songs with two guitars. And then sometimes, he plays bass on a bass six [i.e. — the electric bass version of the mariachi instrument, the bajo sexto]. So, that is a new development. We lost a member and decided to try to do it as a three piece — more space, you know?”
Ron Miller remains on drums, percussion and vocals.
