King Kong (band)

King Kong is an American indie rock music project fronted by musician Ethan Buckler. Buckler left his previous band, Slint, in 1989. Previously in late 1988 he already started a new musical project. King Kong's first release, Movie Star, featured the other three members of Slint, David Pajo, Britt Walford, and Brian McMahan. King Kong would go on to feature an ever-changing lineup of performers including Richard Schuler, John McEntire, David Grubbs, and Peter Townsend.
