75th anniversary of the end of PROHIBITON (the Volsted act). What a great day for America!. Interesting that the Bloody Mary arrived just prior....hmmmmmm,...coincidence? I think not!
12/01/08
The Bloody Mary is 75 years old today. Why not have one?

Dear lush-heads,
We're busy and working hard on the new CD. Mixing it up in November. Should be available in January of 2009 on our site in CD form and digitally for downloads on iTunes. Sorry for the lag time, but we work slow. Hangovers and apathy? No,...attention to detail believe it or not. I don't want to put something out that we are not proud of, and we are proud of this new CD. I don't want to say that we're done, we'll play out and have fun and drink beers with any and all that come out, but I must say,...I tire of this rotten business. If this is the last CD we do...we're going out with a bang! Our debut CD,..."Double Secret Probation" was a raw, crazy, blues-based, beer-soaked party record. Filled with tasteless classics to provide entertainment for the drunk, unwashed, yet educated derilects of the world for another 100 years and beyond. FUBAR was our "Sgt. Peppers" or "Pet Sounds" (if we may be so bold). Staying true to our alcoholic roots, but showing that we aren't just a gag. More thought out and musical, with traces of maturity. However, the new CD "Cold Barley Soup" is a return to the decadence, debauchery, boobetry and stupidity that we embrace on a regular basis. I'm not sure we're done. But if we go out with this one,...we're going out with a BANG!!!!!
Cheers,
King Con

I'm afraid Moe the chimp may no longer be with us. :(

Barbara Walters is a pathetic, old, gas bag. Why doesn't she just retire and let somone else have a turn. She isn't a national treasure, or an institution. She should be in an institution. Or a museum.

All politics aside,...is Sarah Pailin a MILF? Hmmmm. The debate rages on! That's as political as we get here at King Con. Although, if her daughter has a baby, that would make her a GILF. I don't think I could go there. Even after a lot of beer.
9/9/08
Is anyone as tired of hearing from that vile, childish, ignorant, pathetic, fat pig Rosie O' Donnell, as I am? With all the time she spends eating, it's a wonder she has time to speak at all! By the way...Tila Tequila is a useless, annoying peice of shit as well...

I gotta dry out.

Our old buddy KROQ DJ Tim "poorman" Trenton has been crankin' some King Con during his syndicated tv show..."Poormans Bikini Beach". Check him out on his website: http://www.poorman.com/fm.phtml ........Thanks Poorman!!!

Saw Steey Dan last night in LA. They are still the SHIT!

Moe the chimp is still on the lam in the San Bernadino mountains.....come home safe Moe!!! The Orangatan is declining in numbers...,.please help. What a tragedy to lose this wonderful animal that is currently on the endangered species list. How sad that they should perish while Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty continue on?

Congrats Joey Chestnut,...Coney Island/World Champion Hot Dog Eating Champ of 2008.

Well,..we move at a snail's pace,...but believe it or not, a new KING CON CD will be available on iTunes and on our website in January of 2009. Sure,...it's a long time away...but well worth the wait!!!

The return of King Con last Saturday was a blow-out! Much fun and beer was consumed! Played a few off the new cd "Cold Barley Soup" as well. Will have pics up when we get a moment. Video on www.youtube.com soon as well.
3/4/08
Hey lush-heads! We're gonna go blow off some steam! King Con will take the stage on Saturday, March 15 at the Universal Bar & Grill in North Hollywood. http://www.universalbarandgrill.net
We are currently working on our new cd, so we haven't played out in a while. This will be a fun way to kick it back off. We'll play the old tastless standards, and ...yeah...what the hell...probably throw in a few new ones from the new cd "Cold Barley Soup". Hope to see you there. We miss ya.

Congrats NY GIANTS! Superbowl champs!

Rejoice! Today is National Gorilla Suit Day!
12/18/07
Just finished working on the movie "Flying By", starring Billy Ray Cyrus & Heather Locklear. It was a plum role...King Con dressed in a Rabbit suit, sitting in a bar drinking beer. It was a part I WAS BORN TO PLAY!!!!! I'll add pics when I get a second.
12/10/07
Fun and games at King-con.com. That's what we live for. No political or depressing world events,...but please allow me this one. On this day,..there are more "gorilla suits" than actual gorillas on the planet. Sadly, their numbers are down to 700. Six billion people, 700 gorillas. We can do better than that. What a travesty to lose this wonderful creature to poachers and deforestation. Did you know it was that bad? I didn't either. Almost extinct. If you can,...please help. http://www.gorillafund.org/
Thanks for listening...and please have a pleasant & safe holiday.
Cheers,
King Con

FUCKING ASSHOLES. Useless bullies on bikes handing out chicken-shit tickets.

Back in the studio this weekend. Slowly pushing along with the new CD. It's coming along nicely,...slow...but nicely.
8/10/07
A Van Halen tour without Michael Anthony?.....hmmmmm...
7/5/07
Happy fourth of July hangover!!!! What was your poison,...beer, margaritas, champagne, wine,....or "D" all of the above? If you answered "D",..no wonder you feel like shit!
6/20/07
And now from the "I can't believe it" file: Check out this link: http://www.toonsandballoons.com/costume.htm.
I guess since we haven't been playing gigs lately,..the market place came up with a solution. The next best thing is to rent King Con for your party??
6/10/07
Been listening to the Adam Carolla show lately. It's fun stuff. The deaf frat guy is a howl too.
6/1/07
Who decided that Lindsay Lohan was good looking? I've forgotten about better looking chicks than that. I'm not into chicks who constantly "throw-up" on themselves,..and by the way,..can the talentless, moronic, drug-addled singer of the "Baby Shambles" band (Pete Doherty)? please just die and put us all out of our misery?
5/19/07
Saw the movie "29 Weeks Later" the other day. Not a great movie but there were some interesting developments on the zombie front. Zombies don't just wear old "flood water" pants and lumber around slowly. They wear designer jeans and can run. The times they are a changin!

Get hammered,...it's Arbor Day!

Rejoice! Today is National Gorilla Suit Day!

First day of recording for the new, as yet untitled, King Con CD!
1/6/07
All KING CON songs just $.99 cents @ iTunes....(and other pay download sites). They carry all individual songs as well as both complete CDs of Double Secret Probation & FUBAR. By the way..if you already own FUBAR,...I'll give you a solid,..there is a secret track after Scratch, Scratch, Scratch.

I was was recently reminded in an e-mail by a kind soul (Bardy), that I didn't make a resolution of my own. I was so busy spouting off about what everybody else needs to do, I kinda forgot about myself. Quitting drinking would be absurd, so the priority is to finish the new CD. But with that said, we'll try to get out and play this year. It's been way too long. Me do miss it,.......we'll all get together soon.
1/1/07
Happy New Year everyone! How about this for a resolution? Let's have todays artists make some REAL music! How Ashlee Simpson can still have a career in music after getting caught lip synching on Live TV is totally amazing? Rap "artists" who talk over drum machines about murdering people while they sample real musicians prior work. What a disgrace. Is this the best the music industry can come up with? American Idol? Generic,"cookie-cutter" robots that are just a cheap Celine Deon recycling job? (As if she wasn't awful enough to begin with). Not only does that make music not fun anymore,...it's just a really sad statement on our society. Let's get back to the real thing peoplel!!! By the way....get hammered!!!

Heading into the studio Jan 27th 2007, to start recording the new, as yet untitled King Con CD.

"That video that Kanye West put out is the most worthless piece of crap I've ever seen in my life, and he uses my image to catapult himself on the public," the 68-year-old daredevil said Tuesday- (Evel Knievel)
AMEN TO THAT EVEL!!!!!- (King Con)

Fuck Mike Shanahan, coach of the Denver Broncos. He sat on a 13 to 3 halftime lead over the Raiders and didn't even make an attempt to score in the 3rd & 4th quarter. Broncos didn't cover the spread (costing me $400 in a parlay).This concludes the evidence that he is, indeed,....a sack-tickler.
9/28/06
William Shatner's CD is really quite great.. I know that sounds weird...he can't sing...but neither do million selling rap artists,..and at least the musicians are good here..........
9/14/06
Flipped though some TV the other night, unfortunately saw part of Rock Star Supernova....this is the most embarrassing thing I have ever seen. Like a train wreck I searched the internet to see who they picked as their singer........Lucas?? Ha ha ha ha ha ha.......What was the matter with Motley Crue?

National Lampoon's Dorm Daze 2: "College at Sea" is being released on DVD today. Checked it out the other night. Not much King Con in there but you can see us in the back of a wild bar scene with lots of booze, chicks and Salsa dancing. I didn't know we played Salsa? I guess we do now? Fun movie though. Lots of T&A,...worth checking out. Don't blink or you might miss our cameo.......
7/12/2006
The folks over at www.idolunderground.com were nice enough to hook us up with some spins on their radio station. Log on and hear our track "Too Drunk To Fuck" under the "comedy 121" section. If you like the music, rate it and leave feedback on their site. It's a cool website.
11/23/05
King Con has music featured in the movie.."The Beast From Bray Road". I saw it the other day. It's a crazy werewolf flick. Lots of T&A, gory werewolf attacks......cool. Lots of King Con tunes in there as well. For more info, check out this link:http://www.theasylum.cc/cgi-bin/showMovie.cgi?id=87

Click here to check out a few of the photos from the set of "Dorm Daze II". Thanks to Patrick Marti for filling in on drums during the filming as our main man T.M. Burr was off helping his dad celebrate his 70th birthday! Happy b-day Mr. Burr senior!

KING CON recently finished shooting a crazy bar scene for the new National Lampoon movie "Dorm Daze 2 - Semester at Sea". The scene is set in a Mexican village where the central charactors end up going into a local bar. Inside King Con is performing some of their tasteless classics including "Lathered Up In Baby Oil, KING CON and Too Drunk To Fuck". While the band plays on with beers in hand (literally), there is much drunkeness and debauchery taking place complete with scantily clad women, intoxicated drunks and other patrons of overall upstanding charactor. I'll see if I can get a link up soon with some of the photos we took on set.
6/21/05
Please take a moment to check out a cool internet radio show out of Louisiana that is currently featuing our stuff: www.audioindependents.com

KING CON lands two songs in the motion picture "Triple Threat." A fun, surfer, espionage, caper flick. Lots of babes, bikinis, surfing, motorcycles, etc. Coolness!. To find out more about "Triple Threat", go to www.bigbask.com. "Crack A Brew" is featured in the movie. Watch for it! There is a CD soundtrack as well with lots of cool music.

FUBAR, the highly anticipated follow up release to KING CON'S critically acclaimed debut CD, "Double Secret Probation" has arrived. FUBAR contains the same spirit and enthusiasm in which KING CON's first CD was recorded. A combination of drinking, partying and hangover songs, seasoned with tales of debauchery, excess and bad judgement. If you dug the first CD, you'll be sure to love this one too! Check out the latest review from Shockwaves Magazine:
KING CON
FUBAR
Dental Records
FUBAR displays everything rock'n'roll is supposed to be-Fun! King Con are the masters of alcohol-fueled good 'ole blues-based hard-rockin' drollery! This So-Cal party-band fuses the blues-based guitar-jammin' sounds of AC/DC, Pat Travers, and George Thorogood with the folky island stylings of Jimmy Buffet. Unlike other rock bands that abstract simple blues-based party-rock, King Con are indeed skilled scholars both musically and lyrically. This band certainly has the musicianship to back up their absurd and witty sense of party humor. This band is all about having a good time and their songs exude just that. Vocalist/guitarist King Con shines on guitar as well as harmonica and his dipsomaniacal [Ed. Note: I just came across this term using my Thesaurus, but thanks to this review, I'm definitely planning to use this word more often] vocals suit the music perfectly. Second guitarist Lethan Lund provides brilliant blues-licks and tasteful country-styled acoustic work displayed on songs like "Good Ol' What's Her Name" and the rhythm section of Billy Pattan (bass) and T.M. Burr (drums) provide the solid backbone and ultimate reggae groove on tracks like "It's A Guy Thing" and "Your Lovin' Squeaks." The opening theme song "King Con" gets the party going with its catchy sing-along chorus and the title-track "FUBAR" (I think we all know what that means) keeps the party slammin'. Other tracks such as the instrumental "Ode to Cider" and "Scratch Scratch Scratch" prove rock' n' roll boogie is alive and well. All in all, whether or not this music is your style, there's no denying that King Con's uplifting music will put a smile on your face and get you in the party mood. For more information on King Con or to purchase their CD, check out the band's website at: www.king-con.com.
