LIL’ MOSS AND THE BONETONE (ex Bangkok Mojo)
(Chicago Blues)
Many of our customers get confused about the name of our bar and the band Bangkok Mojo, and which came first! The full name of the band is Daddy C & Bangkok Mojo, as it was formed by the owner of the bar – the bandleader, vocals and harmonica player – Puree Muadmuang aka Daddy C. The band had initially performed as Jukes (with a slightly different set up) since 2011, and it was the first jump blues band in Thailand, highly praised by its authentic blues sound and tight arrangements both by foreign and local blues lovers. The band played in numerous live music venues in Bangkok (AdHere the 13th Blues Bar, Apoteka, Black Cabin, Saxophone, Beer Republic, Maggie Choos, etc.). Due to several changes of members, Daddy C changed the name in 2018 to Daddy C & Bangkok Mojo, which inspired us to name the bar Bangkok Mojo as well. Since running the bar takes quite a lot of time and effort, he suggested to the rest of the band members to continue performing under a new name with Moss as the main vocals and guitar – Lil’ Moss and The Bonetone. However, when they play at the bar, Daddy C joins his band for a few songs. So, if you are a true blues lover, this is an experience you will appreciate for sure!
