Keith Gladysz and Jenn Penn, the now married singer/guitarist and singer/visualist of Diet Kong, grew up in Dix Hills. They didn’t reconnect until grad school at NYU, and formed Diet Kong in 2004, at which point Pulse writer Alan Semerdjian also played guitar and co-wrote some of the songs. In 2009, Keith and Jenn grew tired of city life and headed to the Catskill Mountains, where they transformed a winery into a home and recording studio (along with raising animals on a farm). After getting settled, they recruited drummer Jeff Harrigfeld, and “Beautiful Blackout” is the latest disc from the electro-rock trio.
