One of my favorite bands, Diet Kong, will be rocking the shit out of Philly tonight. The NYC-based (and newly-reorganized) duo will be performing at Doc Watson’s (11th between Walnut & Locust) tonight at 10pm. This band first caught my attention as a three-piece outfit about a year ago at the now-defunct Grape Street in Manayunk (funny how so much has changed since then in this scene… and in this particular band). Fronted by artist/singer/creative genius Keith Gladysz, Diet Kong masters the blend of avant-garde/arthouse performance and catchy songwriting. Their self-titled CD proved to be well produced and listenable, but yet with a definite futuristic-electronic bend. The live show kicks ass, especially with Keith’s unique onstage presence making the show undeniably entertaining.

Wrestle up some money and a couple of friends and get your butts down to Doc’s to show some love. I’m interested to see what Diet Kong offers as a duo… and to see how much baby powder Diet Keith will have on his head.
