Kid Congo Powers and the Pink Monkey Birds with Lupo Citta

In 1976, Brian Tristan was the 17-year-old president of The Ramones Fan Club. Today, he’s the man we know as Kid Congo Powers, legendary guitarist for The Gun Club, The Cramps, and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.

With his two decade-old outfit, The Pink Monkey Birds, Kid Congo digs deep into his roots as a crackerjack guitarist playing the primitive music that inspired him: the raw sounds of early garage and Chicano rock. The songs are loud and fuzzed-out, dark and greasy, brash and boisterous, and psychedelic beyond belief. This is primal rock n’ roll at its finest, and there’s just nothing more punk.
