Bio !!!
Formed in 2022 in Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.A. by 7 music school nerds, DOOM GONG has made a name for themselves internationally with their own home-baked genre, Denim Psych - a hodgepodge of psychedelic rock, jazz fusion, bedroom pop, lo-fi, contemporary classical music, as well as blood, sweat, and a lot of denim.
Having only released their first two LP’s in 2023 (DOOM GONG and Dream Behemoth), DOOM GONG has quickly become a mainstay of the psych scene in the U.S. and abroad, performing their enigmatic and seamless live shows alongside the likes of The Black Angels, BADBADNOTGOOD, Allah Las, King Buffalo, Bass Drum of Death, Death Valley Girls, HOLY WAVE, Gustaf, Ron Gallo and many others at music festivals including Purple City Music Festival (CAN), Big Stomp (KY) Back Alley Ballyhoo (IN), Wagner Subaru Outdoor Experience (OH), Swampfest (CAN), Expansion Psychedelic Festival (KY), Moonshiners Ball (KY), and Jorts Fest (TN).
In 2024, DOOM GONG launched their international presence, completing two summer tours consisting of 24 shows across the eastern United States and Canada with immense reception. Soon after, the denim assemblage partnered with Romanus Records to produce vinyl of their debut album – all presses were sold out within an hour of its release. Throughout 2024, DOOM GONG will have delivered three singles with music videos: What Was the Question?, I Wanna Get Dim Sum (with my friends) (December 17th), and their inimitable arrangement of My Favorite Things (December 22nd).
The denim dream has just begun: a third LP is set to release in early 2025 along with a FULL U.S. tour and possibly even a European tour ????
