What People Are Saying

"Do The Awesome" is boastful, self-referential, and completely raunchy... Joyfully goofy party music is part Peaches, part Go-Go's, and part B-52's, seasoned with a hint of Judas Priest - Boston Globe

"Do the Awesome", offers eight rock-crunching songs that are smart and funny - TimeOut NY

Iron Maiden guitar riffs, Sufjan Illinois-era cheers, and lyrics that promote sexual freedom and 'doing the awesome'. Picture Tim Curry from Rocky Horror Picture Show if he had joined a high school cheerleading team instead of hiding out in some big mansion with transvestites. - IndieWorkshop.com

Fronted by a quartet of foul-mouthed cheerleaders, Bling Kong fuses power-pop, cock rock, and the movie Bring It On to create a terrific live experience, and now, one of the catchiest rock albums of the year. - Buffalo Artvoice

Bling Kong is ideal for those missing the days of freshly adolescent Mad Libs or disgruntled former cheerleaders looking to release years of pent-up sexual aggression. - Spin

"It's clear Bling Kong excels at excess with cheerleader choruses, spare synths, pop metal guitars and the synergistic pomp and pageantry of Andrew W.K., Hedwig, Iron Maiden, Spinal Tap and Ziggy Stardust." - Philadelphia City Paper

“Sensory overload in the best way" - Jane Magazine

"Poised to become today's party band, the B-52's or Sly and the Family Stone of this decade" - Stereotype

"Bling Kong is definitely something you need to hear to believe - think a hyper cross between the B-52s, Tony Basil and Andrew W.K., or the pep-band version of the Polyphonic Spree - but it's even more of a sight to behold at one of Bling's circusy live shows: cheerleaders flailing about, drummers pounding away, guitarists shredding like madmen, the audio-visual guy doing, well, whatever audio-visual guys do." - The Examiner
