The King Kong Club Grand Final will see six acts compete against each other for a grand prize in The Village this Thursday (April 8th).

Kicking off at 8.30pm for €5, Bocs Social, Filthy Geeks, The Hot Sprockets, Infidels and The Lynchburg Mob will be among the bands looking to capture the big prize – nine days recording and mixing in Serra Vista, Portugal in Boz Boorer’s (Morrissey’s guitarist and musical director) residential studio, with all expenses (flights, transfers, accommodation, food and drink) paid for and use of all Boz’s array of vintage musical equipment. Pretty sweet prize.
