About Me

The Wrong Trousers are three teenagers from San Diego, CA. Kelsea, Joseph and Mack met while playing together in their high school music program. As they gained popularity around school and in their small community they decided to venture out to find a wider audience. They began playing on the Prado at Balboa Park on the weekends and quickly gained many new fans. Their unique and original sound that combines harp, mandolin and upright bass with harmonic vocals often stopped pedestrians in their tracks. A video of them performing their cover "Video Killed the Radio Star" in the park has over 200,000 views on YouTube and was picked as one of the 50 Best Music Videos of 2007 by pitchforkmedia.com. The Wrong Trousers have appeared at the Adams Avenue Roots and Folk Festival and are becoming regular fixtures at local venues like Lestat's West and Mueller College. Kelsea and Joseph also play behind San Diego singer/songwriter Gregory Page and have performed with him at Anthology in SD and Largo in LA. The band has spent the past year writing new music and recording with San Diego jazz great Peter Sprague at his studio in Encinitas, CA. The Wrong Trousers released their debut record, "One and Counting..." on December 21, 2007.
