Spring 2008

After a bit of a slow winter, things are starting to pick back up here on the home front. Some shows are starting to pop up in and around Philadelphia. New songs are on the way as well. We should be done recording a new album at some point this summer. Maybe even a new website. Stay tuned!

July

Exciting times in KKDD land, which means Leroy's basement. Recording the full-length is well underway and so far so good. Hopefully we will get some new songs up here and the myspace soon.

The tour down south was great! The Spazzatorium is most of KKDD's favorite place ever. Richmond as well. Look for us in the midwest this August. Check the shows page for details!

March

Long time no update, but we're mostly on the myspace anyway...

We are had a work on a full length at the moment, though no word on when it might be done. Hopefully this summer. In the meantime we are playing the big Badmaster Records birthday party on March 2 at Johnny Brenda's and then we are playing the POPPED! Festival in early April. Check the shows page for more info...

December

Everyone, we've got a new record out and we are playing shows this month. Come see us in Baltimore or Philly this holiday season!

September (waning)

So the bad news is we will not be able to make it to Pop Montreal this year. We are really bummed about it, but there is just too much going on at the moment. But some of that goings ons is...

The Good news- our record will be released in mid-October. There were some mastering issues that are being taken care of, but really, it sounds great. We are working on some shows for this November and December, so check back for more info!

September (proper)

Someone we don't know made a video for our song, "South Street Bridge". Check it out...

Also, a whole bunch of magazines including XLR8R, Under the Radar, and Synthesis are coming out this Fall with articles/reviews about us. If you see them, you know, take a look...



September (almost)

KKDD is taking a break for a little while. We're happy to announce that we've been selected to play the Pop Montreal festival in October. We're waiting to find out what our date is before we're sure we can make it, but it's big news.

The other big news is that Badmaster Records from our very own West Philly will be releasing our EP in the coming months. The art work will be much the same, but the cds will have professional printing and it will be alot nicer. No release date yet, but we'll let you know...

August

The summer is almost over! Come see us while you still can. We've got two shows left this summer- one's a big festival type thing at a big art space in West Philly, the other is a more intimate affair in the Norther Liberties. Both should be lots of fun though.

Also, we've just realized that there's no contact information on this website, so we've added our email to the bottom of every page here. We'll get a proper contact page up here soon, but meantime, write us and say hello at info (at) kingkongdingdong (dot) net.


July

So June is over and we're all back in P-town. This summer is the summer of KKDD. We are playing tons of shows. Come out to them and pick up a copy of our new EP!

We've updated our website a bit. You can now order our EP here, download some songs, and look at lots n lots of pictures of us. Check it out...

May

Our EP is finished! It's 6songs, a few of which you can listen to on our myspace page. No shows this month, but be sure to come out to Somebody's Baby at the M Room on June 1!

April

Ok, it's still March, but barely. The recording is coming along and we will have 5 songs done by mid April. One song will be appearing on a compilation being put out by the Danger Danger house. More info on this when we have it.

We're also playing up in NYC at Barnard College's radio station (WBAR)on April 15. There are a bunch of really good bands playing this thing, check it out if you're up there!

February

2/20/06
- Thanks to everyone at the Danger Danger house. That whole show was too good. I didn't stay for the whole thing, but my favorites were the Flat Possum Boys and the Bad News Bats, but everyone was great really, fun times!

Our EP thing is coming along but I think we're just going to record a whole album now. We'll see how that goes. In the meantime, we've got a show in March at the Khyber, check it out. Also, we recently made about a million t-shirts, so we won't run out of them this time. xoxo, kkdd

 

2/10/06 - Hang on, we have a show next week! Check the shows page, it sure is going to be a crazy show.

Thanks to Andrew, Royce, and everyone at the 4W5 Cafe in Wilmington. We had good time at the show and the trip down. There is really no limit to the amount of equipment and people that can fit in a mini-van. We don't have any shows coming up because we've been lazy I guess. We're also in the thick of recording 4 songs for an EP. It should be done by mid to late February. It's hot, check back for mp3s once it's done.

Speaking of mp3s, there are a few new ones up on the music page. Check it.

 

January 2006

We just played our best show ever last night and we're all very excited about life in general. Come see us in Wilmington, DE on the 28th and get yourself one of our hot new t-shirts! Feel it, chumps.

 

November

King Kong Ding Dong is the ultimate Philadelphia super-group featuring members of like ten other Philadelphia bands. We have mp3s you can download, but I don't think they sound like we really sound. So whatever you think of the recordings, our live sound is 100% future music, party-beat, "don't fight it- feel it".

We've got some shows coming up in December and January. So come and see us!

Also, sometime in early January we're gonna record an demo/EP sort of thing. It's going to be awesome!!!
