Biography :
King Kong Foo started in 1995 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The five members were influenced by various bands from metal to punk rock to ska, and of course skate punk. As one of the few skatepunk bands from Denmark, they leaded the scene and shared the stage with international bands like Satanic Surfers and Shelter, and with most of the danish punk bands. They first appearance on CD was on the compilation Satan Ate My Head (1996). The year after the band self-released a 6-song mini-album. In 1998 they planned to release a compilation album with many other danish punk and hardcore bands such Ten Minutes Of Joy, Lack, Toybomb, Complete and many more. I couldn't find information if the album came out.
- Smile (1997) CD
Yeah, one of the best danish skatepunk band. I also don't know about this mystic compilation. But! Look what i found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1gI3c9lh7E Here's Pi-Jaw's demotape. They also from Denmark and also planned to put their song on this unknown compilation (maybe 'Fresh From The Fishbowl' or 'Randers Ruller'?).
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe King Kong Foo also released the demo, who knows (according to this page http://web.archive.org/web/20010501125451/http://www.danbbs.dk/~ft/frames/bands_E.htm).
