These guys were great. I saw them at the Liquid Lounge in Long Beach. They played incredibly tight, catchy music and commanded your attention.

Yes, they seem like that would be a great band to see. I have not seen them, but heard of them and wanted to get our reviews going again with them.
Thanks for the comment.

Hot! Hot! Hot! That’s one for each guy in the band… saw MiNG at The Blue Cafe and they were even better live than on the CD I bought from cdbaby.com. Keep up the good work and hopefully I’ll see you soon.

If you haven’t seen this band yet, you are missing out! I have been to several of their gigs and this band is hot! These guys are cool and laid back and sure knows how to get the crowd going. I think their next show is at the Liquid Lounge in Long Beach on April 5th. I’m not going to miss it!

I recently saw MiNG play at the Blue Cafe in Long Beach. They were awesome! Everyone in the band attributed to their great sound. Their style was unique, and their music does have quite a modern mixture! Everyone who went to see them play all had a terrific time. We’ll definitely be back to hear and see them again soon.

Great Musicianship!
Great Vocals! (Ming sings so well!)
Fun Live Band To Watch!
Cool, Groovy, Jazzy-Alt-Rock Musical Style!
I can hear some of the songs from their EP being played on 98.7 Star Radio!

Do you like Jazz? Alt-Rock? Happy Love Songs?
(even Irish music on St. Patty’s Day?)
Then this musically-tight trio is for you!
I know it is for me…As a sound engineer at
the Blue Cafe, I can definitely attest to both
their song writing talents & musicianship!
I’m looking to see Ming, Garrett, and Mike go
far in whatever they attempt!

I saw Ming at the Blue Cafe and they were awesome. They are very talented musicians and have a unique sound. The lead singer is a talented guitarist with a great voice, the stand up base was very cool, and the drummer had some great beats without being too overpowering. I decided to pick up their cd and have been listening to it all week. Check them out, you won’t be dissappointed.

Very unique musical solos from all three members. It’s refreshing to hear musicians mix it up and let loose with their own style, while still making it sound cohesive.
And as an added bonus, they’re all nice to look at! Great harmonizing, too.
