KONGOS get plaque in Canada

CANADIAN BAKIN’: KONGOS’ “Come With Me Now” is also big in Canada—like double-platinum big—inspiring this plaque presentation from the peeps at Sony Music Canada. Pictured with the band backstage at the Toronto stop on the Kings of Leon/Young the Giant/KONGOS summer tour are (l-r) publicist Erica Silver, promo rep John “JD” Davies, marketing head Michelle Stewart, product manager Stephen Gasparek, President Shane Carter, publicist Sam Taus, band manager Marc Pollack and promo person Julie Calabrese. After the shot, Marc resumed boorishly making fun of Canadian and South African accents. (8/6a)
