It is my extreme pleasure to announce that the indie rock cook book I Like Food, Food Tastes Good (by Kara Zuaro) is now on shelves! My recipe for Big Apple Quiche Puffs (originally concocted as an entry in the 2003 Pillsbury Bake Off... and probably the only truly original recipe I've so far created), is included in this quasi-cookbook along with recipes from 100+ awesome bands including My Morning Jacket, Franz Ferdinand, Death Cab for Cutie, They Might Be Giants, The Violent Femmes. How Bling Kong ended up in there is still a mystery to me!


Also, if you live around NYC/Brooklyn, next week on Wednesday evening May 2nd, I will be doing a food demo along with our very own guitarist/singer/meatlover Steakbomb at The Brooklyn Kitchen to spread the word for I Like Food and share some of the rock and roll foodie joy. Other celebrations for the book include a happy hour tomorrow Apr 26th at Hi-Fi and an all afternoon BBQ Sat. May 5th at Union Pool.

Thanks Paul and Dino!! And thanks Aaron for another great visit to Providence. Someone actually did a cartwheel in front of the stage, and then two guys got arrested for fighting outside the club-- rock and roll! We also had a great DIY time at Edward's loft party in Brooklyn last week and on our triumphant return to The Middle East in Boston. Thank you to everyone who came out. And no thanks to that jerk who stole Kim's pom pom!!

Have you ever wondered where BLING KONG gets these great song ideas? Maybe it happens something like this...



As Steakbomb put it, "I'm glad we sing and play our instruments better than we act." See for yourself next week:

Maybe you've heard us singing about a certain heart breaker named Snakedawg. Well when we first met him, he was on the search for love...
