Looking for something to do this weekend? Well check out some news from Mike about Pinche Gringo….
I stumbled across Pinche Gringo roughly a year ago per a friends suggestion. Eric Bingham, bassist for the The Griefs (Spoonful Records), had played with him on his last tour and thought I may enjoy his take on music. I love a minimalistic, dirty, bluesy garage sound, and Pinche definitely did not disappoint.
Pinche Gringo evolved after party band The Spinns retired. Josh Johnson (then Spinns drummer) started his own version of one-man-band garage blues stomp. After a stint in Mexico City playing along side the likes of Los Explosivos and The Halfways, Josh moved back to the states and calls North Carolina home. Now teamed up with “the lovely Sarita” (vocals, and a variety of instruments) a unique sound has emerged. A throwback to the sounds of yester-year…. God Bless original sounds, from original artists pouring their hearts out for our entertainment!
After date mis-haps, and a venue change, Pinche Gringo plays The Down Under Sunday November 23, 2008.
