BBC Radio 6 Music - Marc Riley, Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds

Marc Riley has a live session from Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds.

Kid Congo And The Pink Monkey Birds make a welcome return to Salford's hallowed studios. The new album La Araña Es La Vida is based on the The Great Spider Goddess of Teoticuhan - she protects the underworld, or in Kid's eyes, the world of underground music.

Recorded at The Harveyville High School gym in Kansas, this self-produced album finds guitar slinger and singer Kid Congo Powers (The Gun Club, The Cramps, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds), bassist Kiki Solis (Knife in The Water, Rhythm of Black Lines) and drummer Ron Miller (Switch Hitter, Up The Academy) joined by Chicano-Mosrite-playing guitarist Mark Cisneros (Medications, Deathfix).

This will most certainly be entertaining.
