Up and Coming Acts – Joe Lean and The Jing Jang Jong
It kind of just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? No? Oh well, you’ll get used to it, because Joe Lean and his band of merry men are going to be rearing their carefully coiffed heads everywhere in the coming months.
With a selection of suitably jingly, jangly guitar-based songs and a sharp, jerky style, you know these London lads will be lapped up on “the scene”. Plus, with tour dates in place to support Babyshambles and the Kaiser Chiefs, it will be no time before NME starts printing pretty posters (if they haven’t already). Despite all this, I have been enjoying their songs. They make you want to swing your skinny jeans.

Most impressively J.L.J.J.J. haven’t been together particularly long, with lead singer Joe “this is my real surname” Lean boasting a varied CV including a multitude of film and TV acting roles as well as playing drums in The Pipettes under yet another pseudonym.
More recently, the Jing Jang Jong have been bathing in the beautiful adulation of big dogs Radio 1, as well as being confirmed to play the Shockwaves NME Awards Tour 2008with Wakefield’s finest, The Cribs.
