Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground is the debut, self-titled album from Seattle musical collective Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground.

After a copy of the band's cassette found its way to John Sidel of V2 Records, the band signed an initial agreement to record a full-length album, but V2 was bought out by Universal Music shortly thereafter and a finalized contract never materialized.[1]

The band eventually struck a deal with Vinyl Collective, a subsidiary of Suburban Home Records, to put out a double-LP vinyl version of the album. It was made available on the Vinyl Collective website in March 2008 after the band quietly released it on Amazon.com's MP3 download store. The album has since been made available for download on iTunes.

The album was released on compact disc on May 26, 2009 via Suburban Home.[2]
