About Us

---

Formed in 2022 in Louisville, KY by 7 music school nerds, DOOM GONG has made a name for themselves throughout the states with their own home-baked genre: Denim Psych - a hodgepodge of psychedelic rock, jazz fusion, bedroom pop, lofi, contemporary classical music, as well as blood, sweat, and a lot of denim. 

Having only released their debut LP in 2023, DOOM GONG has quickly become a mainstay of the US psych scene. Bringing their energetic and seamless live show to numerous music festivals like Big Stomp  (KY) Back Alley Ballyhoo (IN), Expansion Psychedelic Festival (KY), Moonshiners Ball (KY),  Crave Festival (KY), Moonshadow Music Festival (IN) alongside heavy hitters of modern rock including The Black Angels, Allah Las, King Buffalo, Bass Drum of Death, Death Valley Girls, HOLY WAVE, Ron Gallo, and many others. 

After completing their debut LP, the band took no time off and followed up with their second LP (also in 2023) with the release of “Dream Behemoth”. This album saw the band collaborate with a full jazz big band, and a string quartet not only for the recording of the album, but also for the Nov. '23 album release performance (Live at The Whirling Tiger). 

BUT, DOOM GONG isn’t done just yet: the band has a packed 2024 including the release of the aforementioned live album, a slew of singles, and many festival appearances around the US and a North-Eastern US/Canadian tour in the summer. LP 3 WILL be released in early 2025 along with a FULL US tour and maybe even a European tour??? THE GONG RINGS ON
