abstract:Formed in 1980 in New York City, KONK was a band that emerged during a period marked by the Post-Punk/New-Wave and Disco scenes which were prevalent at the time. KONK won the attention of both scenes by playing a hybrid of the two musical styles which involved the blending of a New Wave attitude with the carefree nature of Disco's dance crowd.
The Kinks, one of the UK's most influential bands with hits like You Really Got Me and Lola, purchased Konk in 1971 and began recording there two years later.
