About
- Drag Queen Bingo
Drag Queen Bingo are a psychedelic indie band with a retro edge! 6 boys from the Midlands influenced by sixties Britpop and its American cousin, their sound has been compared to the Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Dandy Warhols, the Warlocks, Arcade Fire and the Guillemots.

After spending 2007 writing new material and testing it out on local audiences and critics, the Bingo are in the studio early 2008 to record their new EP in advance of the release of their first full length album "LYREBIRD", available to buy online from indiestore.com, summer 2008.
