Lineup and details for Kong @ The Ruby Lounge (Wotgodforgot) on Sunday 28th February 2010
Kong
Not for the faint hearted or those suffering from a nervous disposition!
Kong are awesome. They can scare and thrill you. Once seen never forgotten, they are a fine line between insanity and genius. A soundtrack to the edge of reason. They are band with B A L L S. Side project of Oceansize members Hodson and Heron.

This is the NME review of KONG's debut album 'Snake Magnet'
Kong – “Snake Magnet”
Snakes are meant to be repulsive; sneaky killing machines made of cold blood and untrustworthy eyes. Even more repulsive perhaps, is that nature made them on purpose and allowed the twisted among us to be magnetised by their creepy aura. ‘Snake Magnet’ is definitely making us twisted. Influenced by 400 Blows, Shellac, Fugazi and The Jesus Lizard, Manchester’s Kong don’t make music reminiscent of anything the city’s known for. Despite a worthy homage to Albini, there’s nothing textbook about this trio; they sound as intriguing as they look and play as dirty as they talk. ‘Snake Magnet’ is the sort of brilliant, balls-out art rock that will destroy the weak and blow up the pretentious. Just what Britain needs.
