((Bling Kong)) Band Profile and Upcoming New York City Concerts - Oh My Rockness
Bling Kong
NYC's Bling Kong feature 3 drummers, 2 guitarists, 1 bassist, a video DJ, a bunch of crew members, and (the cornerstone) 4 cheeky cheerleaders. Yes, cheerleaders (who are by all accounts totally P.S.S., or pre-Sufjan Stevens). That's a whole lot of shiny happy people.
This kitschy collective likes to go for the naughty-cock-rock in grand spectacle. Their live shows have been called sensory overload, and result in a multi-media mack-fest. Bling Kong list some of their influences as New Pornographers, John Cameron Mitchell, Motley Crue and The Go Gos. Throw in the B-52s, penis puns, and some pom-poms and you got yourself enough comparisons to stop guessing what Bling Kong is all about: having fun.
