It might be an overstatement to call Kid Congo Powers one of the bridesmaids of the American underground, but it doesn’t feel like much of a stretch. Though not a household name himself, Powers has played guitar for some of the most beloved and influential bands of the past 30 years, including The Gun Club, The Cramps, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and Angels of Light. Since 2006, however, Powers feels that it’s his turn to wear the white gown. Dracula Boots, the sophomore release by Kid Congo and The Pink Monkey Birds, finds Powers reveling in the skuzzy, funktastic garage rock that his most famous guitar work has alluded to for years.

The original songs on Dracula Boots go from loud, fuzzy biker rock ("Hitchhiking") to a greasy rump-shaker groove ("Bobo Boogie"); from a scary movie soundtrack ("La Llarona") to The Meters having an acid flashback ("Black Santa").
