KID CONGO & THE PINK MONKEY BIRDS - Live at Third Man Records

Known for his work with The Gun Club, The Cramps and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Kid Congo and his band, The Pink Monkey Birds, have carved out a place for themselves in the competitive world of underground music by taking the building blocks of primeval rock and roll and pushing them to their furthest conceivable limits. This philosophy will undoubtedly strike a chord in fans of foundational punk music (and especially Ramones fans).The live recording from the Third Man Blue Room features two banger tracks - 'Psychic Future' and 'La Araña' - hot off their 2016 album La Araña Es La Vida on In The Red Records. Compared to the studio tracks, these live recordings are just slightly faster, a bit tidier and defi nitely more urgent. The shining star has gotta be the rhythm section, especially on 'La Araña', which belts out an addictive thump from start to fi nish.Packaging: 7' foldover full-color jacket, standard weight vinyl
