On the heels of their latest release, post-apocalyptic Americana band, TJ KONG & THE ATOMIC BOMB, are premiering a new video for "California Basement Blues" with Pancakes & Whiskey. The song comes off the band's new LP, DANCING OUT THE DOOR, out now via Good Behavior Records.
Pancakes And Whiskey praised the song saying, "With rustic and jangly guitars, hammering keys, spastic drums and gritty lyrics flung at us like we stole something, 'California Basement Blues,' is that honkey-tonk blues tune we've been craving." and raved about the new album calling it, "A 13 song masterpiece that is so unlike most of the music, style-wise hitting us lately that it really stands out from the muddled pack and won't be surprised if it ends up on some of "top of the year lists" very soon."Check out Pancakes & Whiskey's Premiere

The band's newest LP, Dancing out the Door, is the third installment in a trilogy that began with their debut record, Idiots. According to Bruskewicz, "Idiots explores folk music, Manufacturing Joy explores garage, delta blues and country, and Dancing out the Door adds horns as well as organ and keys to explore our strange version of New Orleans, the holiest of the holies."
TJ Kong & The Atomic Bomb was born when Drummer Dan Cask and Bruskewicz met while working at a bar in Philadelphia. The pair bonded over music and ?lm, ?nding common ground in Iggy and the Stooges, Tom Waits, Jim Jarmusch, Johnny Cash, Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, punk music of all kinds and 90's grunge. From there, the band took off - making a name for themselves with a storied live show that sends people into a dancing delirium. The band's infectious excitement led USA Today to describe them as "One of the most sought after bands in Philly," and landed them a performance at the POP Montreal festivalsupporting well-known Canadian two piece, Japandroids.
In an effort to capture the explosion of angels and demons that Dancing out the Door cultivates, Bruskewicz offers this: "We're excited about what we found. A joyful madness. These songs all have a different story to tell, not the lame story of the band or our records, but real stories of strange humans doing beautiful things and being imperfect. Kaboom"TJ Kong & The Atomic Bomb is Dan Bruskewicz (Vocals, Guitar, Harmonica), Dan Cask (Drums), Joshua "J.A.M" Machiz (Upright Bass), and Josh Olmstead (Guitar). Dancing out the Door will be released Friday the 13th of October, 2017 via Good Behavior Records.
