About Me

..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5 Que La Chinga had a gig before they even really existed, and the band quickly formed in the summer of 2002 so that several members could make good their promise to a local promoter. At first sparsely acoustic before turning electric, they began creating a musical hangover of haunting mandolin melodies, jangly guitars, bittersweet vocals, and a rhythmic attack of bass and drums – rife with imagery of broken whiskey bottles, minimum-wage redneck towns, and eulogies to Johnny Cash. A bar band at heart, Que La Chinga has taken the stage often since their formation over four years ago, and they have released two albums independently.
