We at Bling Kong have so much to share with you right now that we kind of feel like we should take you to dinner first. Let's skip the formalities and get right to it:
I. Video! In case you missed our Kahlua-fueled Lebowski Fest gig at Northsix on 12/16, you can catch a clip from the show at www.baeblemusic.com . You can view one song from the concert by visiting the Baeble site - click the "Videos" option at the top, and find our band in the list. You can also buy the entire concert – either as a DVD or high-quality download – for $8.99. It was an interesting show to say the least...check it!
II. Vote! After already kicking the crap out of their monthly contest and winning a sweet guitar, BK is now a finalist in Fearless Music's Battle of the Bands! You can vote for us here: http://www.fearlessmusic.tv/battleofthebands.php
III. Shows!! We have a ton of shows in the works. There is a damn good chance that we'll be bringing BKII to your hood in the very near future. Some definite events include:
Friday 2/23 @ The Hook in Red Hook, Brooklyn!
(Part of BAM's Next Wave Festival)
Saturday 2/24 @ Jerky's Bar and Grill in Providence
(Providence, we are FINALLY back!)

V. Recording! Our recording of Bling Kong II is shaping up to be some seriously epic shiznit. We are in the last stages of recording and we can't wait for you to hear it. Stay tuned!
VI. BK Blog! As always, check the BK blog at www.blingkong.com for musings and insights from the members of Bling Kong.
