Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong tour

Following their stint on the Shockwaves NME Awards tour and an NME nomination for Best New Band, Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong are on the road once again, taking their debut album (out later this year) across the UK, from Bristol to Glasgow and just about everywhere in between.

The album has been recorded in a north London studio over the last three months in days stolen between live shows, and is the perfect distillation of the boys' inspired blend of garage rock, classic pop and doo-wop.

With finishing touches currently being applied, the band's first commercial single release 'Lonely Buoy' (released March 10th through Vertigo) and their electrifying live show are the perfect appetisers for what promises to be one hell of a main course.
