KID CONGO & THE PINK MONKEYBIRDS Announce London Show as Part of European Tour Following 'That Delicious Vice' Release
Following the April 19 release of That Delicious Vice and a successful tour of Australia, Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds are set to bring their high-energy show to London and additional cities this Summer/Fall. Fresh from an appearance on John Mulaney’s Everybody’s in LA, where Kid was part of the "Old Punks" focus group alongside Fred Armisen and other punk icons, the band is revved up and ready to hit the stage.
Kid Congo Powers, the avant-garage legend behind bands like The Gun Club, The Cramps, and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, shares excitement about the new lineup. Now a three-piece, with Mark Cisneros (Des Demonas, Hammered Hulls) playing both guitar and bass, the band’s sound has evolved with more space and experimentation. "We lost a member and decided to try it as a three-piece," Kid explains. "It opens up new possibilities with the music."
The new album, That Delicious Vice, showcases the desert influence on Kid’s music, with tracks like “East of East” and “Silver For My Sister” dripping with twang and reverb. Fans can expect a blend of psychedelic garage punk, blues, and Latin rhythms—all delivered with the signature energy that Kid Congo is known for.
