Kid Congo and The Pink Monkey Birds 2011 European tour, one off date in London, and BBC6 radio session

Kid Congo and The Pink Monkey Birds hit round 2 of another European tour in support of their critically acclaimed LP "Gorilla Rose" on IN THE RED Records. Also a one off date in London November 23 at Corsica Studios, only after recording a BBC6 radio session with Marc Riley. 2009 saw Powers update band members Kiki Solis on Bass, Ron Miller on Drums, and Jesse Roberts on guitar and keyboards. The band move to In The Red Records and released the much acclaimed LP "Dracula Boots" which was herald by many as a "return to form." Co-Produced by Jason Ward and recorded in a High School gymnasium in Harveyville, Kansas, now an artists retreat known as The Harveyville Project, Dracula Boots uses southern soul, 60's Chicano rock, and psychedelic imagery. British magazine N.M.E. said " In short, on ‘Dracula Boots’ Kid Congo Powers has once again found the juicy jugular of soul-fired, funked-up rock’n’roll. You’d be foolish not to take a bite." In 2011 Kid Congo and The Pink Monkey Birds released their follow up album, "Gorilla Rose" also on In The Red Records. Eamon Carr of The Dublin Evening Herald said of "Gorilla Rose" "Having a working band is paying off. Gorilla Rose elevates seedy go-go weirdness to the level of high art."

Julee Cruise cancels European dates. Kid Congo Powers and Khan rock on anyways!

 Julee Cruise has cancelled  her European dates due to health issues.  Kid Congo Powers and Khan  rock out on a few selected European dates in October anyways! . The press release explains:

 Kid & Khan

    A night equal parts drama, disco, rock n roll, provocation and
performance which could make the sane insane and the insane more
insane with pleasure.

    Kid & Khan , which is a duo made up of electric guitarist/singer
Kid Congo Powers (of The Gun Club, The Cramps, Nick Cave, The Pink
Monkey Birds ) and Can “Khan” Oral, seminal electronic musician,
performer, label owner (I’m Single) producer and pervert. Kid &
Khan’s  first album, “Bad English”  was a car crash of beats ,bleats,
and banging pop guitar slop.

   These two unique artists, known for three entirely different
musical styles met in New York City and now band together to blend the
sublime with the hilarious or the glamour with the trash. Live this
duo bends into different shapes and comfort zones.  Kid & Khan create chic mayhem with electro disco fuzz
pedal rock. Everything is askew, like a David Lynch film, Khan plays
dirty guitar licks, Kid goes disco and everyone rocks out!  One thing is
for sure, the drama and the fun never stops with  Kid &
Khan.

Kid & Khan shows:
