about
King Køng was a German rock band. They achieved relative fame primarily through their lead singer Jan Vetter , who is a member of the band Die Ärzte . The band was founded in 1989 by former Ärzte guitarist Jan Vetter (vocals/guitar), former Ärzte producer Uwe Hoffmann (drums), Christian “Flo” Florie-Albrecht (vocals/guitar) and Ruprecht (bass). Characteristic features included the two lead vocals of Jan Vetter and Christian "Flo" Florie, as well as the virtuoso bass playing of Jack Reznicek, particularly on their final album, * Life Itself Is Sweet, Sweet, Sweet* . Furthermore, the distinctive rhythmic interplay between guitar(s) and drums was a unique selling point. Typically, the composer sang their own composition – similar to the practice of Die Ärzte, but exclusively in English. King Køng was primarily a live band that enjoyed surprising its audience with lyrical and musical variations on the studio versions of their songs. The band effectively dissolved in 1993, coinciding with the reunion of Die Ärzte. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
