If it's an original, unorthodox and imaginative approach you're interested in then you need look no further than Bongshang.

JJ from Bongshang

Fusing anything with everything, they have forged a singular pathway for themselves ever since their ground-breaking debut album 'Crude' literally took traditional influences by the scruff of the neck way back when, and catapulted them into a whole new realm of cool respectability.

But the thing with Bongshang is that you should always expect the unexpected. Their second, equally ground-breaking, album 'Hurricane Jungle' took them more down the electronica and experimental road (although actually putting a handle on it proved impossible) before their highly acclaimed third album 'Vy-lo-fone' more or less merged the two styles to even greater effect.

Equally, their rare live shows are not to be missed and here again anything, indeed everything might happen, that in a nutshell is the beauty of Bongshang. Having played a number of national and international festivals, including a support slot with the great Rory Gallagher in France, their's is a name that endures, however rare their album output and live appearances may be.

Still forging new and exciting ground after all these years - just sometimes not enough of it for some's liking.
