Kid Congo and the Pink Monkeybirds, who just returned this week from a French jaunt that included an appearance at the Nuits Sonores festival alongside the likes of The Raincoats, Violent Femmes, Chicks on Speed, Stereo Total, etc., will play their first New York gig in months, and first Brooklyn gig in years, at Williamsburg’s Glasslands Gallery on June 8, 2007. Since embarking upon an endless trek back and forth across the United States and Europe last Fall in support of his critically acclaimed solo debut, Philosophy and Underwear, and his compilation, Solo Cholo, and moving to Washington, DC around the same time, the underground guitar legend behind classics by The Cramps, The Gun Club, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, etc. rarely makes it to these parts. His band, the Pink Monkeybirds is currently a trio including drummer Danny Hole (Warlocks, Nikki Sudden) and bassist Kiki Solas (Rhythm of Black Lines, Knife in the Water)

This incredible bill also includes Parisian noise rockers Dimi Dero, local paint-peelers Woman, and Awesome Color side project Used to Be Women.
