The debut album CONG! from Cong Josie traverses a hyperreal world of romance and contorted machismo. It is an electric place of sleaze, smoke and gyrating hips. Below the throbbing synth rhythms, early rock 'n' roll kicks simmer and shake. Pitchfork recently described the LP as "a heady, gleefully ridiculous piece of genre pastiche held together by ... flamboyance and predilection for showmanship." Cong Josie's music is also deeply personal however, with much of the album inspired by therapy sessions -- leading to songs of introspection and written about his closest loved ones.

Together with his band The Crimes, Cong has been wowing audiences with his 'leave it all out there' sweat-fuelled stage (chairs, tables, floor) manner. From electronic stompers to post-punk swampers and Lynchian romance it will take you places. Tanswell's Hotel is in for one hell of a steamy rodeo-rave, complete with a support set from Cayn Borthwick.
