The gigantic tone of Kid Congo Powers’ open-tuned guitar is one of the more readily identifiable sounds in the history of underground rock. Best known for his contribution to the development of the contemporary ambient, noise, and rock guitar with The Gun Club, The Cramps, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in the 1980s, Kid’s spent the last fifteen years as a sideman (Make-Up, Mark Eitzel, Angels of Light, etc.), as a partner in Congo Norvell and Kid and Khan, a member of garage rock supergroup Knoxville Girls, and, most recently, the leader of Kid Congo Powers and the Pink Monkey Birds. Not only has Kid played with some of the best bands of all time, but that he did so during their finest hours (Psychedelic Jungle, Las Vegas Story, Tender Prey, etc). Tonight Kid will bust out rock, schlock, soul, glam, no wave, and other trashy curiosities…

Join NYNT in welcoming Kid as a Guest DJ at Motor City this Wednesday!
