MORE BOTHERED ABOUT MY EAR DRUMS! BOTH OF MINE ARE PERFORATED ...THEY STING LIKE FUCK WITH HIGH FREQUENCIES AND THATS ALL I PLAY ....I GOT THE INDUSTRIAL DEFENDERS ON THOUGH AND THERE DOUBLE PACKED.
- How much does your home town influence their music?
ME AND LULU GREW UP ABOUT 200 FT AWAY FROM A MENTAL HOSPITAL ...IN OUR HOME TOWN CHASING AND TEASING THE NUTTERS WAS A POPULAR ACTIVITY.... THATS 100% THE TRUTH TOO.
- What inspired you to make such a glorious noise and not, for example, ambient electro-folk involving hand-claps and songs about farming?
WE HAD GUITARS AND A LOAD OF MASSIVE AMPS WHAT ELSE WERE WE GUNNA DO? BUT THEN AGAIN LEAVE US WITH ANYTHING FOR  5 MINUTES AND WERE ALL MAKING A RACKET . GIVE US A BOWL OF FRUIT AND WE'LL BUST OUT AN  UM- BONGO TUNE EASY  
- What can an audience expect at your live shows?
3 PUFFS ON FIRE
- Where would you most like to play?
WRESTLING RING ON FIRE
- Does making the music come easily or is it like pulling Brontosaurus teeth?
WE SPEW OUT MUSIC ALL THE TIME, AND WE GET TO RECORD EVERYTHING...WERE JUST PICKY WITH HOW WE PRESENT IT AND WHAT WE WANT PEOPLE TO HEAR ...SNAKE MAGNET IS ENOUGH FOR NOW.... IT TAKES ABOUT 2 YEARS TO GET INTO IT

TALKIN SHIT

















Kong Interview If music is the food of love, what does Kong taste like? Like a big fat man sausage that's half way down your neck ....chuck a couple of warts on the end of it too. What's with your visual image? Masks could imply deep-seated fears, and an unwillingness to reveal one's true self. Is there something dark and sinister in your collective backgrounds; are masks a way of removing yourselves from association with previously musical ventures, or simply reflective of that fact that dressing up is fun? That little bit of plastic is like a giant shield...you know like.. I would probably square up to Ric Flair in that mask...it's weird you feel almost invisible. As a kid I was terrified of those huge promotional bears and Disney type costumes at fairs and sh*t as I could not see what was in them but knew even then that they weren't real huge purple dinosaurs or whatever. I was more frightened of the weirdo inside it! How do you feel your live persona's and sound translate to the recorded medium? Are you better live or on 'record'? Well our L.P was recorded live so it kinda works well both ways but to be honest I've never seen a Kong show and the record wrecks my head in ...  How do you feel about the apparently incessant need for the world to compare music and other art forms to previous works in the genre? For example, "Kong sound like Shellac and Fudge Tunnel" is a lazy and essentially pointless association, but one which gives comfort to some. Discuss? Well to be honest I don't think its possible to describe music clearly with words ...and pictures can't capture sound but you know, here I am writing about our band. I think comparisons are used to reel in fans of other things. It isn't a bad thing, yes it is lazy, but there was a time in all our, music loving, lives that we have bought something on the back of a comparison or recommendation. What's the worst thing anyone could ever claim about Kong? A. That we are that coffin dodging excuse of a band from Amsterdam ,also named Kong. (we actually told them to f*cking retire and stop staining our path with their incessant trail of sh*t!) I'm not bitter about it....ugly flat faced twats! B. That we are a side project ...were not even close... Were more of a sideboard project. How involved are you with the recording process on your material? Does creativity continue to flow during recording and mixing, or is it simply an exercise in sonic 'capture and manipulation' of previous creative outputs? Were very involved. The L.P was recorded at least 3 times, with three different engineers, before we were happy with it and yeah there is no f*cking around with overdubs or any of that sh*t I think dubs are great for somethings but for Kong it would just be a fatal lie..like when you see a girl with huge busters and you get her home whip off the cone case to reveal fried eggs, I mean that is false advertising in its most carnal form! I don't want to release a wonder bra album, I want people to hear the same thing live and on the record and vice versa....

GERMAN TRANSLATION











This is probably as sound recording some cause confusion, because in these KONG are not the Dutch-quadrophonic geniuses who over the entire nineties caused a furore and anno 2009 renewed the new album "What It Seems Is What You Get" on the market pose, but a relatively new trio from Manchester, which is stylistically far removed from the namesakes, but also still quite unconventional sounds produced.
