Latest album DRACULA BOOTS.

On his new album, DRACULA BOOTS, out March 2009 on INTHERED Records, the
legendary Kid Congo Powers returns to the psychedelic jungle with a
stripped down, no frills set of volcanic songs. Kid, the premier voodoo
guitarist for seminal sexy swampy bands like Gun Club, Nick Cave & the Bad
Seeds and The Cramps is a restless aesthete. He used his earlier solo
efforts to explore vocals and mix genres. With DRACULA BOOTS, Kid comes
back to his roots as a crackerjack guitarist playing the primitive music
that inspired him; the raw sounds of garage and early Chicano rock.  It
only made sense to record such glittering gems as Thee Midniters "I Found
A Peanut" and Bo Diddley's "Funky Fly" in a high school gymnasium. He did
this in a Midwest town called Harveyville with his nefarious Pink Monkey
Birds. Bassist Kiki Solis from El Paso,TX. and Drummer Ron Miller from
Macon,Ga. provided the southern soul sauce needed to fuel the engine of
the rhythm train. Recording on a stage using the old PA system created a
natural reverb, summoning the magic of a bygone prom interrupted by a
juvenile delinquent rumble.  The original songs on DRACULA BOOTS go from
loud, fuzzy biker rock (Hitchhiking) to a greasy rump shaker groove (Bobo
Boogie), from a scary movie soundtrack (La Llarona) to The Meters having
an acid flashback (Black Santa).  So sink your teeth into this hunk of wax
and waste no time strapping on your DRACULA BOOTS. You will dance your way
from the cradle to the grave, and beyond.
