The Tale Of Gong Wah In the beginning of 2018 singer Inga Nelke alongside two guitarists Thorsten Dohle & Felix Will meet at a dark cave in Cologne Germany. Impressed by the caves reverb, accompanied by a drum machine, they rather accidentally create a sound that sits somewhere between shoegaze, psychedelic and krautrock, while breathing the DIY spirit of a punk new wave era. They turn on, tune in and drop out. Starting to write songs, rehearsing every minute of spare time, call themselves GONG WAH – their sound FUZZWAVE. By now the rare performances of the first incarnation of GONG WAH, held among others in Cologne's art scene, highlighting Ingas spherical voice and the screaming yet rambling guitars of Thorsten & Felix, all drenched in a sea of effects while drums and bass are played off a battered 80s Tape-deck drilling peoples ear holes to the ground, eagerly wanting more and more. During a performance at the end of 2018 the machine entered a pact with Satan, went down south and ate the tape with all the backing tracks. Fortunately bass player Giso Simon and drumming multi-instrumentalist Nima Davari were in attendance of said gig. One lead to another – boom - GONG WAH became a five piece. The spring 2022 brings about GONG WAH's second record release "a second". The vinyl and CD will shine via TONZONEN RECORDS.
