Ming Ming & The Ching Chings and Big Ned are playing The Mill Glasgow tomorrow night (Thursday 30th July at Oran Mor, Doors 8pm).
Big Ned really are one of those bands that are the best kept secret. You’ll need to hunt them out but when you find them, you’ll love it. We did the searching for you and are bringing them to The Mill to introduce you to their own blend of doom ‘n’ roll as they describe it. Optimo Music found them first and are releasing both their single "Bad Angel" and their eponymous album. To give you a bit of an idea, they like slow bluesy rock, but they also like Country and Western. David Lynch movies and dark Americana also have a place in their hearts and they love trance. To top it all off they think 3 chords are too much. Best way to understand Big Ned is to see them live so here is your chance.www.myspace.com/bignedwantsyou
Ming Ming and The Ching Chings are a lo-fi rockabilly disco punk rock band from Glasgow. They formed in the late summer of 2007 and have been described by one fan as ‘like a rave in a monkeyhouse!’ Influenced by the likes of The Cramps, The Fall, Monks, Fire Engines to LCD Soundsystem, ESG and Elvis, they have been gigging just over a year, supporting the likes of 1990s, wearethephysics, Murder by Death, and The Duke Spirit. Last year’s highlights for the band include a video and live performance collaboration with Japanese artist Tomoko Takahshi as part of the Glasgow International Art Fair, a manically busy gig as guests of Optimo and a track featured on the Art/Goes/Pop complilation. They also headlined an Art Collective gig at The Royal Academy of Arts, Piccadilly London in December followed by ‘Pin-Up Nights’ Hogmanay Ball at The Flying Duck and the band their own “Bells’ gig at The Brunswick Hotel, which highlighted a very productive and successful first year for the band.www.myspace.com/mingmingthechingchings
