JOE’s Song Of The Day #631: King Kong Company ‘My Name Is Now’

Eric Lalor

King Kong Company

King Kong Company nailing it again.

Chances are you’ve seen King Kong Company at any number of Irish music festivals and marvelled at their energy and ability to absolutely whip the audience into a frenzy. They make records too. Like this one.

King Kong Company

It’s a bit of a departure from their usual up-tempo bass-driven stuff, but it’s still got quality all over it. This new track and video features Sue O’Neill on vocals. Sue has been a regular King Konger since the band’s first ever Electric Picnic performance back in 2013.

The track explores our fascination with legacy. A few souls are capable of creating great art, others choose to destroy on a grand scale and some scrawl willies on bathroom walls. This track trawls it all, leaving its own mark in the form of a signature video that delves into a twisted world of cyberpunk voyeurism.
