* PLUG* My Fellow ILM'ers - Get Thy Kid Congo On!

Thanks. Kid was spinning a bunch of great obscure songs that night referenced in the article. This was interesting too: Kid plays guitar in the same bluesy, open-tuning style Jeffrey Lee Pierce taught him when they formed The Gun Club;

Ten years later I just saw Kid Congo do a book talk in DC interviewed by Joe Lally from Fugazi. He talked about how he got into music when he was young, sewing and making own clothes to go to Rodney Bingenheimer’s glam dance club thing, starting a Ramones zine, meeting Jeffrey Lee Pierce in line to see Pere Ubu, working at record stores, how he joined the Cramps and how charismatic and wonderful Lux was onstage and more .
