Hi all! Bit of a milestone over at Brew towers as we have our first full length album coming out from our favourite rock monster Kong. This has been a long time waiting but ‘Snake Magnet’ will be released on Monday 13th July 2009 on a gorgeous CD/DVD matt finish digipak and all major download sites. The sexy artwork above is by Jon-Lee Martin of the Kong variety. Head over to http://www.leatherpenny.com for more of Jon’s artwork. This release come with a bumper one hour documentary on the band featuring Biffy Clyro, Nine Black Alps, music videos for Leather Penny & Blood Of A Dove, shopping with Kong & Live at the 100 club. Check out the myspace for ‘Sport’ and the music video for Leather Penny below for a sneaky taster: http://www.vimeo.com/3222625 and a full blown trailer from our friends at Roach Productions, why not: http://www.vimeo.com/5157551 All in all you get over 3 hours of audio and video material for a bargain price of £9.99, the first 100 preorders also come with limited number artwork from the leather penny video shoot. Head over to towsend records to pre order a copy: http://www.townsend-records.co.uk/produ ... 44&pType=1 Here’s some nice press clippings: “If you like Shellac and Fugazi, consider Kong the toxic shock syndrome version; they will more than likely please your ears but definitely give you a side of nausea. How do I know? Cos I’ve got a copy of their hideously good debut album ‘Snake Magnet’ playing right now. Check it out upon its release on July 13th or I’ll send a scary baboon round to your gaff to set your eyelids on fire. Just messing. I’ll send Kong” – NME “One of the best live bands in the UK right now” – Dan Carter BBC Radio 1 “Welcome to Kong's world. It's a world of heavy punk and cellotaped faces (leading to pretty scary gigs). You'd be mad not to enter – and you'll probably leave it madder still” Artrocker “Manchester mob definitively kick the pop out of the punk with this raw and abrasive track with a hefty dose of Fugazi lurking beneath the surface.” Kerrang "Kong might just be the best band in Britain right now. Ferociously powerful, stunningly inventive, and equal doses of scary and humorous." Dirtyzine Kong will also be touring the UK throughout July with leeds rock gods Chickenhawk, the tourdates are below, they are also playing a few selected dates with The Bronx in 2009 so keep your eyes peeled for the boys visiting your town!: 15th Jul 2009 Mad Ferret Preston 16 Jul 2009 The Ruby Lounge Manchester 17 Jul 2009 Buffalo Bar Cardiff 18 Jul 2009 The Macbeth (Hoxton) London 19 Jul 2009 Freebutt Brighton 22 Jul 2009 The Flapper Birmingham 23 Jul 2009 Chameleon Cafe Bar Nottingham 24 Jul 2009 Brudenell Social Club Leeds 25 Jul 2009 The Tunnels Aberdeen 26 Jul 2009 Nice and Sleazy Glasgow 5 Sep 2009 Off The Cuff Festival Birmingham 10 Sep 2009 Artrocker New Blood tour!
