Who We Are
Gong is often referred to as a ‘cult’ band.
Which we have always understood to mean,
“a band which too few people love too much”
But... In the words of that great French pataphysician and all round musicbox, Bloomdido Bad De Grasse, to whom we defer on all things “Zeee Gong eeeet egg-zisst all waysssss!” - as long as you want it to in fact.
Now in 2009 GONG is in its 40th year of giggling and performing in all its many forms and dis-guises, and the process has become so much more than just the most eccentric originating psychedelic band of the late sixties and early seventies.
The buds, satellites, comet-like offshoots, children and grandchildren of Gong are many and varied. Their activities cover a vast range of musical styles, tastes, inclinations and altitudes. But always at the heart of all these bands, musicians, poets, artists and performers lies the original seed vision of the luminous green planet Gong - may this site help you see it more clearly.
Why we are? Well we continue to work and at one and the same time assiduously not work on that little conundrum...
