King Kong Company
Waterford, County Waterford
A club-sandwich of dance beats, reggae vibes and rock licks, the wizened folks of King Kong Company are back to bring some 90s-era jollity to 21st century dance music. Call the "retro"? Call them "old school"? Call them "bloody brilliant.” - Rob O’Conner, Beat 102-103
Between February 2011 and January 2012 King Kong Company released a brand new music video on Youtube each month. The track Acetate won the Viewers Choice Award at the Irish Music TV Awards in November 2011, beating LIsa Hannigan, Ham Sandwich and the Villagers in the process.
"Not only has the prolific release rate been impressive, but the standard of the tracks too, has been astounding" - Barry Gruff, Music Blogger
In February 2012 the band played their first gig, selling 600 tickets to The Forum Waterford - watch a clip of the gig here http://youtu.be/scxrpJwN_YM. This was followed up by a late night mainstage performance at Life Festival in May 2012 that was broadcast on 2FM.
