Shortly after their 1997 formation, the three-piece of Kung Pao relocated from Madison, WI, to import their sludge of steel and punk to NEW YORK. The lineup of T.B. (bass), Davey D (drums), and Chovie D (electric guitar/ vocals) induced an AmRep Information influence from the Melvins and Helmet because they initial packaged this audio over the 1998 divide with Tucker on Maduro Information. The following wintertime, -ismist Records added in the discharge of Kung Pao’s initial full-length Bogota.
