Kunt And The Gang

Band, *2003 GB
Pop and Electronic

Kunt and the Gang are a musical comedy act based in Basildon, Essex, following in the tradition of 80's Basildon-based electronic pop acts Depeche Mode and Yazoo. Formed in late 2003 by lead singer and keyboardist Kunt (4) (one of the founder members of Essex rock combo Serious Problem) the group underwent a line-up change even before the band's first gig in December 2003 at the Castlemayne pub in Basildon, with Andy Kunt (aka And' Job) being replaced by puppet sidekick Little Kunt. Kunt is most famous for his re-worked single 'Use My Arsehole As A Cunt (The Nick Clegg Story)' a satirical commentary on Nick Clegg's participation in government with David Cameron. Despite no airplay or coverage in the mainstream media, an online campaign championed by digital arts community "b3ta" led the single to achieve #66 in the UK Christmas singles chart in 2010. A further re-worked version of another previous single 'Fucksticks', charted at #63 in April 2011. There were many campaigns on Social Networking sites to get the song to Number One on the weekend of the Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. The accompanying video, featuring effigies of the British Royal Family performing sex acts led to Kunt and the Gang's YouTube channel being removed "due to repeated or severe violations of our Community Guidelines". The band are notorious for their risque lyrical content, dealing with many taboo subjects including masturbation and sexual fantasies concerning celebrities such as Carol Vorderman.
