Originally released by\u00a0Brew <\/strong>Records\u00a0in 2009, French label\u00a0\u00c0 <\/strong>Tant <\/strong>R\u00eaver du Roi\u00a0is reissuing Kong\u2019s \u2018Snake Magnet\u2019 in a stunning gatefold vinyl version. The record will be officially released on April 9, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKong\u00a0is not a name chosen by accident. It does not describe an effeminate collection of callow f**kers thrust together by a desire to look plucked or sound eager to please.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All are\/were\/shall be in other, perhaps more commercially viable bands, which is notable only because it fills out their biography and creates the impression of a deeper back-story, which becomes, by definition, massively interesting to idiots.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, Nancy was in\u00a0Jane\u2019s Addiction, and Milicent founded\u00a0ITV.\u00a0Kong\u2019s music, such as it is, takes all the risibly obnoxious elements of lots of very loud, credible bands, feeds it non-brand specific lager, then comes on it in its sleep. In truth, they are difficult band to describe unless you\u2019re a music journalist, in which case you\u2019d probably pick a large animal (elephant, dinosaur or a fantastical creature of myth) and put it in an unusual place (Middlesbrough) with predictably madcap results.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summary \u2013 the first time I saw them play I felt a burning sensation on my arm and realised that I had developed eczema. The album, \u2018Snake Magnet\u2018, will follow when somebody grows balls and f**king puts it out there.\u201d<\/em>
