Following the recent release of That Delicious Vice, and just back from a wildly successful tour of Australia, Kid Congo & The PInk Monkey Birds today announce live shows for thisSummer/Fall. Kid was also part of the “Old Punks” Focus Group with Fred Armisen and a wealth of other punk legends on a recently-aired episode of John Mulaney’s Everybody’s In LA.“It’s a new lineup,” landlord of the avant-garage Kid Congo Powers exclaims of the Pink Monkey Birds edition responsible for the fifth studio full-length of their 19-year recording career, That Delicious Vice, released April 19 on In The Red Records, the band’s home since 2009. “We’ve gone from a four piece to a three piece,” continues Kid, whose unique guitar style has been at the center of some of the most forward-thinking bands in punk and garage: The Gun Club, The Cramps, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and Knoxville Girls, to name a handful.“Because Mark Cisneros (Des Demonas, Hammered Hulls) is playing guitar, sometimes we have songs with two guitars.
