Joe Lean & The Jing Jang Jong
Submitted by bigcheese on Fri, 01/06/2007 - 14:08.
Together for only a year before their release, tongue-twisters Joe Lean, Tom D, Dom O'Dare, Panda and Bummer Jong have the kind of polished indie that will leave even the coolest of London's club-goers a mite hot under the collar, not to mention all that "sweat on sweat on lips on lips on sweat".
Taking their influences from a cocktail of Kylie pop and 60's garage punk, Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong cross catchy melodies with a songwriting ability that will catch you out, just when you think you can relax.
It's really keep-'em-on-their-toes music, which is going to down extremely well with the cool kids. Not to mention the fact that Mr. Joe Lean has been featured in the majority 'best dressed' sections of some of the coolest mens mags!
With a constant stream of gigs to look forward to, the band are able to do the odd impromptu cover when the mood takes. It's not a regular part of their set, but they admit they would love to cover Monster Bobby's I Heard You Moved Away.

Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong are a five-piece from London, split between Brick Lane in the East End and New Cross.
With names like theirs you might be forgiven for taking the Jing Jang Jong as a novelty.
But listen to Where Do You Go?, Lonely Buoy, or any of the group's tracks and you'll be wondering where you can buy their tunes, the answer would be on their recently released debut!
