Queen Kwong is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and award winning cat handler (sort of) Carré Callaway, who was discovered at age 17 by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. In 2005, Carré was invited to support NIN on its sold-out "With Teeth" tour, where she performed as a solo act with only a microphone and a guitar. Four years later, Callaway once again opened for Nine Inch Nails on Reznor's final tour, "Wave Goodbye."
What began as a curious 4-track analog cassette recorded in Carré’s living room soon grew to become Queen Kwong, a full rock band that can be heard at venues across Los Angeles. Presently, Queen Kwong is in the last stages of finishing her debut, full-length record, which will be available this winter. Hardy har har har...meow
Queen Kwong at the Palladium Review:
"Opening the night was a somewhat new artist by the name Queen Kwong. Front-woman Carré Callaway had the pleasure of opening for NIN a few years ago under her solo name, and this time around was able to showcase some rock-induced tunes under the band name Queen Kwong, who reside locally in the Silverlake area. To say everyone was focused on seeing NIN would be an understatement, however the audience’s reaction to Queen Kwong was nothing short of great. Their mix of alternative guitar riffs, tender yet aggressive vocals, coupled along with gorgeous harmonies from a violin and cello left me in a good mood for the rest of the night. Hopefully another big name will take them on the road soon, as they definitely have the wings for this flight called the music biz."
Ahhhh! Thank you so much for the thank you! I actually just enrolled at the Los Angeles Film School today! That youtube video I did with you & NIN was done on my Iphone. Well, I will be doing film projects there for the next year and a half so if you ever need help for a future amateur Producer think of SUZY Q! Have a great weekend and keep rockin!
GRAZIE PER L'AMICIZIA!
