Egomaniac

Multiplatinum-certified rock quartet KONGOS release their third full-length album, EGOMANIAC KONGOS are South Africa-born and Arizona-based band of brothers—Johnny, Jesse, Dylan, & Danny, who have music in their blood. Their dad John Kongos landed multiple chart hits in the seventies, and the boys picked up instruments at a young age. Now, they’ve got a musical legacy all their own.

Following two successful years on the road supporting 2014’s breakout LUNATIC, KONGOS returned home in late 2015 with a bevy of ideas. The guys wrote initial demos separately and convened at Tokoloshe Studios—their full-scale production studio located in their hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. While sharing ideas, they collectively realized a thematic commonality, which would eventually inform the creation of EGOMANIAC.

In 2014, ‘Come With Me Now’ from LUNATIC put KONGOS on the map. The group became unanimously recognized as one of rock music’s most infectious and invigorating new voices as the track went double-platinum for sales in excess of 2 million in the U.S. It occupied the #1 spot at Alternative Radio for five weeks, marking the quickest ascent to the top by a new band in history.
