King Kong, a rock band from Louisville, Kentucky, formed in early 1989 by Ethan Buckler, the original bassist in the band Slint. The band's first single, "Movie Star", features the entire Slint line-up, sometimes swapping instruments. Their sound is a blend of rock n' roll, funk, and a lot of other elements found in music topped off by often humorous and indifferent lyrics. After a four-year hiatus King Kong returned with "The Big Bang", another in a long line of concept albums. This one was concerned with space travel although an underlying theme of sexual intercourse could be deduced.
