A Chinese, an Indian, another Indian and a half Mexican-half white guy walk into bar…
That’s pretty much what you’ll see at The Annex this Thursday, otherwise known as The Joseph King Trio (and yes, you counted right, there will be four members as opposed to three, which make a trio. But I guess The Joseph King Quartet didn’t sound as cool). Flavors of the world unite to make, what I like to call, sexy music. When I try to explain what they sound like I usually say, “It’s sort of a Ska-Rock-Folk sound…oh, and it’s sexy. Very sexy.”
Lead singer Joseph King makes every girl in the room blush with his lustful lyrics, sultry voice and tousled locks. And if you want to get up close and personal with a kick-ass drummer, don’t miss Alex Wong. His solo set will have you banging on the tables. The bassist, as cool a bassist there ever was, is my personal favorite. He might be a badass mofo on stage but offstage he’s just a loveable guy with good taste in clothes (sorry Mr. Jain!). Lastly, Mo, the latest addition and second brown guy to join. Though I have not seen him play, I have had the pleasure of hanging out with him. If he can play half as well as he can drink, well then, we’re in for a fantastic show!
Bottom line, check these guys out. You will not be disappointed. I’ll be the brown groupie in front, Killians in hand, howling and whistling.

"The bassist....is my personal favorite." Oh yeah, you're my favourite too Rakka Rakka!
trying to spread the gospel:
the long blondes-"someone to drive you home" (self-described "glamour punk"; too intelligent to make in america)
the good, the bad and the queen-"the good, the bad and the queen" (damon albarn (blur), paul simonon (the clash), simon tong (the verve/blur) and tony allen (fela kuti's africa 70)=the sound of london, or if ray davies met king tubby and the rockers uptown)
lindstrom-"it's a feedelity affair" (scandanavian disco smoothness)
