Synopsis

Album Description
11 bright, creative people playing music together could feasibly constitute an orchestra. So what happens when they set out to create infectious rock `n' roll? Irresistible, self-promoting, rock history-spanning, smutty goodness. You need listen to truly understand how the chaotic spectacle of four singing/shouting cheerleaders, three thunderous drummers, and some accomplished axe-wielders epically come together through the golden ear of Dean & Atomic Studios (Andrew WK, The Hold Steady, The Bouncing Souls). To help your understanding a bit more, know that the band has said, "People who are anti-fun tend to be anti-Bling Kong." Anti-fun people, steer clear.
 

CD Reviews

Awesome & Odd
Lick The Children | New York, NY | 04/18/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This short record is songs about sex, BLING KONG (the band and character) and other bits of pop culture. Musically it draws from things dance, rock and pop like Judas Priest, Andrew W.K., B-52s and early glam. According to their site, Spin said, "Bling Kong is ideal for those missing the days of freshly adolescent Mad Libs or disgruntled former cheerleaders looking to release years of pent-up sexual aggression." That's about right."
