Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds
Fifth LP That Delicious Vice Out April 19 via In The Red Records
Kid Congo Powers and the Pink Monkey Birds have released a video for their newest single, “Wicked World,” off their upcoming fifth studio full-length, That Delicious Vice, and it is so very good! Beautiful sexed-up noir art from unparalleled powerful artists who look like they’re having a damn blast.
“Born into trouble from a devil’s seed / Every fork in the road led her here…”
“One two three four five six seven — you’re going to Hell, and I’M GOING TO HEAVEN!!” (Alice Bag)
The album promises extended collaboration with phenomenal LA punk Alice Bag (The Bags), “Wicked World” vocalist. “We go back a long time,” says Bag. “When I was doing my book tour, Kid called me and I hadn’t heard from him in ages! And he’s like, ‘You’re coming to DC! If you need me for anything, I’m gonna make some noise with you — I’m in!’
Joining Kind Congo Powers on the new LP are Mark Cisneros (The Make Up) on guitar and Ron Miller on percussion and vocals.
Kid Congo Powers’ Some New Kind Of Kick: A Memoir is available through Hachette Books. Read Melissa Plotsky’s 2022 interview with Kid Congo Powers about the book.
The “Wicked World” video is directed by Christopher Carlone.
