In this installement of AAA (Access All Areas) we hang out with King Kong Company before they performed to a sold out to capacity Sugar Club in Dublin last Saturday night. We sent our photographer Shaun Neary to the venue to document the goings on from set up and sound check, as well as catching support from The Casanova Wave and Nanu Nanu who were more than capable of warming the crowd up before the main act took to the stage. Check out the gallery below for a comprehensive overview of the night.
Benni Johnston is currently making noises with Cruising, having fronted Logikparty and lending her vocals to a couple of tracks on Bantum’s 2013 debut Legion. Along with a stint as a successful DJ in Dublin having shaped her eclectic taste, it’s only natural that the record collection she has amassed over the years is impressive. We hang out at her apartment in Dublin and have a chat about her favourite albums from Joy Division to Laurel Halo. Photos by Shaun Neary. Gang of Four – Entertainment Gang of fucking Four.

We spend the evening with him in his house in Dublin and chat about some of his most prized possessions. Photos by Shaun Neary.
