Been searching for this comp for years and I finally found it. Really excited to share this with everyone. GSL 50 isn't just a release featuring the who's who of GSL alumni, it marks the height of the label's popularity and influence in the middle of 2003.

Neon King Kong - Get What's Going Around 7" (2002)

DOWNLOAD

THERE'S A PARTY THIS WEEKEND AND YOU KNOW EVERYONE'S GOING TO BE THERE: name dropping everyone who was anyone in So Cal circa 2002.
The only other release from Hot Rod Todd's shortlived Neon King Kong. Two song seven inch released through Vinyl Dog Records. I have no idea who that label is but I assume they were an Orange County/Long Beach label since they released stuff by the Orphans and the Starvations.

Neon King Kong was a short lived synth punk band out of Long Beach featuring members of the infamous LE SHOK. This was actually the first band I ever saw live back in 2002 opening up for Bratmobile and the Locust at the Roxy.
