Pawnshop Bosses Band

Every Thursday night is the time for the Pawnshop Bosses Band – a name that represents the living legends of Bangkok’s live music scene – Frank and Elle.  They are simply a must-see act, as their music career spans from the time of the Vietnam war when Frank had played for GI’s at the infamous Patpong, through the 80s when they tied the knot and began performing together, then spent six years in India, before they came back to Bkk where they have performed in over 60 venues so far. Their repertoire will take through various eras, as they flip through several thick handwritten songbooks (such a rare sight nowadays) while chatting with the audience in between the songs. They will grant you any request if they can perform it, but you will also learn a lot about music trivia and history in general. Get ready to laugh and cry, and even take the stage if you can sing your favorite tune!

Whim

Whim Wisatuporn Jingjit’s acoustic session starts our weekly music schedule every Wednesday. Originally from the coastal town of Trang, Whim learned to play the guitar from his father, who was a teacher and a musician. His first band from high school was influenced by hard rock, grunge, and ’90s Indie music. Once he’d moved to Bangkok he started hanging out at AdHere 13th Blues Bar, where he learned to play blues from Pi Pong, the legendary bar’s owner and one of Thailand’s best guitar players. He formed a blues band called The Vintagers, which has been present on the Bkk’s live music scene for over a decade. Whim has a wide repertoire and can take you through various musical genres with his smooth voice and versatile guitar skill. Very often he’s joined by fellow musicians, therefore we’ve learned to always expect the unexpected on his nights. Joins us on Wednesday nights and let’s see what happens!
